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...

TMFab: A Transactional Memory Fabric for Chip Multiprocessors

With the performance of single-core processors approaching its limits, an increased amount of research effort is focused on chip multiprocessors (CMP). However, existing lock-based synchronization methods that are critical to performing parallel computation possess limited scalability and are inherently complex to use while programming. This...
