A Combined Sensor Placement and Convex Optimization Approach for Thermal Management in 3D-MPSoC with Liquid Cooling

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Francesco Zanini

Modern high-performance processors employ thermal management systems, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. Systematic tools for analysis and determination of best allocation and placement of thermal sensors is therefore a highly relev ...

Online Thermal Control Methods for Multi-Processor Systems

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Colin Neil Jones, Luca Benini, Francesco Zanini

With technological advances, the number of cores integrated on a chip is increasing. This, in turn is leading to thermal constraints and thermal design challenges. Temperature gradients and hot-spots not only affect the performance of the system, but also ...

Convex-Based Thermal Management for 3D MPSoCs Using DVFS and Variable-Flow Liquid Cooling

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Francesco Zanini

In this work, we propose a novel online thermal management approach based on model predictive control for 3D multi-processors system on chip (MPSoCs) using microfluidic cooling. The controller uses dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) for the compu ...
