Abstract:Miniaturization and the continued scaling of CMOS technology leads to the high-power dissipation and ever-increasing power densities. One of the major challenges for the designer at all design levels is the temperature management, particularly the local hot spots along with power dissipation. In this work, the controller circuits which are implemented as Finite State Machines (FSMs) are considered for their thermal-aware and power-aware realization. Using Genetic Algorithm (GA), both encoding and bipartitionin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
