Execution time is no longer the only metric by which computational systems are judged. In
fact, explicitly sacrificing raw performance in exchange for energy savings is becoming a …

Conventional thermal management techniques are reactive, as they take action after
temperature reaches a threshold. Such approaches do not always minimize and balance the …

Thermal hot spots and high temperature gradients degrade reliability and performance, and
increase cooling costs and leakage power. In this paper, we explore the benefits of …

Extracting high performance from multi-core processors requires increased use of thermal
management techniques. In contrast to offline thermal management techniques, online …

This paper addresses the problem of determining the feasible speeds and voltages of
multicore processors with hard real-time and temperature constraints. This is an important …

In the era of the billion transistors on a chip that are capable of implementing thousands of
processing cores, Network-on-Chips (NoCs) are the most viable and scalable solution to …

In future large-scale multi-core microprocessors, hard errors and process variations will
create dynamic heterogeneity, causing performance and power characteristics to differ …

Multicore systems are prevalent now as high end computing systems for solving
computationally complex problems. Energy consumed by these machines are enormous …

Thermal aware scheduling (TAS) is an important system level optimization for many-core
systems. A fast event driven thermal estimation method, which includes both the dynamic …

This paper describes a fast and accurate technique to predict the steady-state throughput
and the corresponding power consumption of a homogeneous multicore processor for a …
