Temperature reduction analysis in Sentry Tag cache systems
Mostafa Farahani, Amirali Baniasadi · 2009
Power and temperature management continue to impose challenging issues in high-performance processor design. Processor power density is growing and has made building efficient cooling systems expensive. While Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) techniques aim at reducing cooling systems cost, previously suggested low-temperature design could potentially provide further temperature reductions or help DTM operate more effectively.
