Multiscale Thermal Management of Computing Systems (MULTITHERMAN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

As computing platforms evolve into heterogeneous, 3D-integrated many-cores, increasing performance per unit area (or volume) comes unavoidably with growing power density, which becomes heat, leading to degradation, acceleration of chip aging and increase in cooling costs. Thermal dissipation is difficult to control at the micro-scale, where typically spatial and temporal power gradients are orders ...
