Application-specific multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs) are usually designed by
using a platform-based approach, where a wide range of customizable parameters can be …

As result of technology scaling, single-chip multicore power density increases and its spatial
and temporal workload variation leads to temperature hot-spots, which may cause …

Understanding why the performance of a multithreaded program does not improve linearly
with the number of cores in a shared-memory node populated with one or more multicore …

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

Multiple clock domain architectures have recently been proposed to alleviate the power
problem in CMPs by having different frequency/voltage values assigned to each domain …

Heterogeneous multicore architectures are comprised of multiple cores of different sizes,
organizations, and capabilities. These architectures maximize both performance and energy …

Turkey emphasized decades ago that taking exploratory findings as confirmatory is
“destructively foolish”. We reframe recent conversations about the reliability of results from …

It is known that temperature gradients and thermal hotspots affect the reliability of
microprocessors. Temperature is also an important constraint when maximizing the …

This paper presents the Distributed Cooperative Caching, a scalable and energy-efficient
scheme to manage chip multiprocessor (CMP) cache resources. The proposed configuration …

Local thermal hot-spots in microprocessors lead to worst-case provisioning of global cooling
resources, especially in large-scale systems where cooling power can be 50~ 100% of IT …
