A thermal-throttling server in 3D multicore chips
Ting-Hao Tsai, Ya-Shu Chen · 2014
Thermal-aware real-time task scheduling in three-dimensional (3D) multicore chips is complicated because of the heat effect of vertically stacked cores and the trade-off between performance requirements and overheating. This study proposes a thermal-throttling server that renders a thermal-aware to existing real-time task scheduling algorithms. Admission control is subsequently presented to guarantee the thermal and timing constraints in the embedded systems. This study evaluates the performance level of the proposed model by using a series of workloads; the findings yielded encouraging results in terms of scheduling ability and prevention of overheating.
