Immediate Neighbourhood Temperature Adaptive Routing for Dynamically Throttled 3-D Networks-on-Chip

In this paper, we present the Immediate Neighbourhood Temperature (INT) routing algorithm which balances thermal profiles across dynamically-throttled 3D NoCs by adaptively routing interconnect traffic based on runtime temperature monitoring. INT avoids the overheads of system-wide temperature monitoring by relying on the heat transfer...

Thermal-Aware Design and Runtime Management of 3D Stacked Multiprocessors

The sustained increase in computational performance demanded by next-generation applications drives the increasing core counts of modern multiprocessor systems. However, in the dark silicon era, the performance levels and integration density of such systems is limited by thermal constraints of their physical package. These constraints are more...
