Abstract:Hotspots occur frequently in three-dimensional (3D) multi-core processors (3D-MCPs), and they may adversely impact both the reliability and lifetime of a system. The authors present dynamic-voltage-assignment (DVA) strategies that reduce hotspots in and optimise the performance of 3D-MCPs by pre-emptively selecting voltages among low-power and highperformance operating modes. The proposed DVA strategies can be employed in online, thermally constrained task schedulers. Three DVA strategies, random DVA, thermal-… Show more
