The Dark Side Of Silicon Energy Efficient Computing In The Dark Silicon Era 1st Edition Amir M Rahmani by Amir M. Rahmani, Pasi Liljeberg, Ahmed Hemani, Axel Jantsch, Hannu Tenhunen (eds.) 9783319315942, 9783319315966, 3319315943, 331931596X instant download after payment.

This book presents the state-of-the art of one of the main concerns with microprocessors today, a phenomenon known as "dark silicon". Readers will learn how power constraints (both leakage and dynamic power) limit the extent to which large portions of a chip can be powered up at a given time, i.e. how much actual performance and functionality the microprocessor can provide. The authors describe their research toward the future of microprocessor development in the dark silicon era, covering a variety of important aspects of dark silicon-aware architectures including design, management, reliability, and test. Readers will benefit from specific recommendations for mitigating the dark silicon phenomenon, including energy-efficient, dedicated solutions and technologies to maximize the utilization and reliability of microprocessors.
