Cross-Layer Approaches for an Aging-Aware Design Space Exploration for Microprocessors

A Power Aware Cache and Register File Design Space Exploration

Fuzzy logic based energy and throughput aware design space exploration for MPSoCs

Multicore architectures were introduced to mitigate the issue of increase in power dissipation with clock frequency. Introduction of deeper pipelines, speculative threading etc. for single core systems were not able to bring much increase in performance as compared to their associated power overhead. However for multicore architectures performance scaling with number of cores has always been a ...

Exploration of Temperature-Aware Placement Approaches in 2D and 3D Stacked Systems

Technology scaling has brought about dramatic rises in the on-chip power density of modern microprocessors. This has led to greater scrutiny and awareness of thermal management techniques which allows to uphold the thermal integrity of the chip. Higher temperatures or uneven distribution of temperatures result in timing uncertainties which induces performance and reliability concerns for the sy...

Cross-Layer Co-Exploration of Exploiting E Over Wireless Applicati

In this paper, we propose a cross-layer algorithm/architecture co-exploration for wireless multimedia systems to coordinate interactions among sub-layer optimizers for improvements in energy/QoS/reliability. By exploiting the inherent redundancy in wireless multimedia systems, we generate an expanded design space over traditional, layer-specific approaches. Specifically, we control the error re...

A two-phase design space exploration strategy for system-level real-time application mapping onto MPSoC

In this paper, we present a two-phase design space exploration (DSE) approach to address the problem of real-time application mapping on a flexible MPSoC platform. Our approach is composed of two independent phases – analytical estimation/pruning and system simulation – communicating via a well-defined interface. The strength of the resulting strategy is twofold. On one hand, it is capable of c...
