Thermal Characterization and Thermal Management in Processor-Based Systems

Authors: José Luis Ayala, Anya Apavatjrut, David Atienza, Marisa López-Vallejo, and Carlos A. López-Barrio

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7041, Power-aware Computing Systems (2007)

Abstract
The register file is one of the hottest devices in processor-based systems. Leakage reduction techniques and DTM mechanisms require a thermal characterization of the hardware. This paper presents a thermal model to analyze the temperature evolution in the shared register files found on VLIW systems. The use of this model allows the analysis of several factors that have an strong impact on the heat transfer. The results obtained can be used in the design of temperature-aware compilers and place&route tools.

Compiler-Driven Power Optimizations in the Register File of Processor-Based Systems

Authors: José Luis Ayala and Marisa Lópes-Vallejo

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5141, Power-aware Computing Systems (2005)

Abstract
The complexity of the register file is currently one of the main factors on determining the cycle time of high performance wide-issue microprocessors due to its access time and size. Both parameters are directly related to the number of read and write ports of the register file and can be managed from a code compilation-level. Therefore, it is a priority goal to reduce this complexity in order to allow the efficient implementation of complex superscalar machines. This work presents a modified register assignment and a banked architecture which efficiently reduce the number of required ports. Also, the effect of the loop unrollling optimization performed by the compiler is analyzed and several power-efficient modifications to this mechanism are proposed. Both register assignment and loop unrolling mechanisms are modified to improve the energy savings while avoiding a hard performance impact.
