EECS "Meet the Faculty" SEMINAR: "Thermal-Aware Design Automation"
Friday May 9, 2008 at 4:00 PM — Technological Institute - Room L324
EECS "Meet the Faculty" Seminar
Dr. Seda Ogrenci Memik, Assistant Professor
Computer Engineering & Systems Division
Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
"Thermal-Aware Design Automation"
Steady miniaturization and large-scale integration lead to increasing power densities. As a result, on-chip temperatures are rising steadily as technology is scaling down. Making matters worse, power management techniques such as clock gating, voltage islands, and power gating may lead to drastic temporal and spatial variations of chip temperatures. As a result, temperature has become one of the most important challenges in design of integrated circuits.
Seda Ogrenci Memik's research group attacks the problem of thermal-aware design along three avenues. First, they tackle the problem at design time. They develop thermal-aware synthesis algorithms and tools for embedded processor design. For various stages of hardware/software co-synthesis, they aim to enable effective control of peak temperature and uniform thermal profiles. Particularly, they focus on incorporating thermal-awareness into synthesis (such as resource selection, allocation, and assignment, task scheduling, and memory allocation), and system management (such as DRAM system control). Second, they develop a self-adjusting paradigm to design structures with inherent resilience towards dynamic effects of temperature. Finally, they approach the problem from the management perspective. They developed a systematic approach to design of thermal monitoring infrastructures for microprocessors systems. This entails, design of thermal sensing schemes and allocation and placement of thermal sensors in a given system.
