Pack & Cap: adaptive DVFS and thread packing under power caps
TL;DR: Pack & Cap is proposed, a control technique designed to make optimal DVFS and thread packing control decisions in order to maximize performance within a power budget and is implemented and validated on a real quad-core system running the PARSEC parallel benchmark suite.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Thermal monitoring of real processors: techniques for sensor allocation and full characterization
TL;DR: This paper characterize temperature signals of real processors and demonstrates that on-chip thermal gradients lead to sparse signals in the frequency domain and devise signal reconstruction techniques that fully characterize the thermal status of the processor using the limited number of measurements from the thermal sensors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Consistent runtime thermal prediction and control through workload phase detection
Ryan Cochran,Sherief Reda +1 more
TL;DR: An off-line analysis algorithm is devised that learns a set of thermal models as a function of operating frequency and globally defined workload phases and incorporates these thermal models into a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique that limits the maximum temperature during runtime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Thermal Tracking for Processors Using Hard and Soft Sensor Allocation Techniques
TL;DR: This work proposes a hard sensor allocation algorithm to determine the sensor locations where hot spots can be tracked accurately given a budget number of sensors and proposes soft sensor computation techniques to alleviate design constraints on sensor locations and to further improve the resolution of hot spot tracking.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Spectral techniques for high-resolution thermal characterization with limited sensor data
Ryan Cochran,Sherief Reda +1 more
TL;DR: A new direction for full thermal characterization of integrated circuits based on spectral Fourier analysis techniques based on Nyquist-Shannon sampling theory is proposed and methods that can almost fully reconstruct the thermal status of an integrated circuit during runtime using a minimal number of thermal sensors are proposed.
