Abstract:
The design of complex many-core architectures represents a milestone for the next generation of mobile applications. But concentrating computing elements in a small area will raise the temperature of the chip very high. Consequently, the silicon is subject to overheating that leads to aging and damaging effects. Thermal-aware task migration algorithms could be a solution to this problem. In order to evaluate these algorithms, a test environment for analyzing dynamic thermal management solutions is required. In this paper, we present Icy-Core as a framework for simulating thermal effects of task migration algorithms on multi- and many-core platforms.
