Exploring Temperature-Aware Design of Memory Architectures in VLIW Systems
José L. Ayala, Anya Apavatjrut, David Atienza, Marisa López‐Vallejo · 2007
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: layout topology, placement and memory accesses. Finally, some relevant conclusions are obtained after analyzing the thermal behavior of several multimedia applications.
