We derive analytically, the performance optimal throttling curve for a processor under thermal constraints for a given task sequence. We found that keeping the chip temperature co...
It is known that temperature gradients and thermal hotspots affect the reliability of microprocessors. Temperature is also an important constraint when maximizing the performance...
