Thermal Analysis of the Shared Register File in VLIW Architectures
Anya Apavatjrut, José L. Ayala, Marisa López‐Vallejo · 2006
This paper presents a thermal model used to visualize and analyze temperature evolution in the shared register files found on VLIW systems. The model allows the analysis of several factors that have strong impact on the heat transfer: layout topology, placement and access policy. The results obtained can further be used in the design of temperature- aware compilers and place&route tools.
