“…Most of the prior proposals for thermal management on 3D multi-cores focuses on independent tasks, including the thermal-ware task allocation, Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling (DVFS), clock gating and hot task migration [3,17,19,22]. Recently, there has been focus on the connected tasks described as dataflow graphs, e.g., Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) [5,11,15]. In these works, optimizations are performed considering both thermal issues and communication overhead.…”
