Research Summary
A high power dissipation of embedded systems no longer affects just the battery life of the system. High power densities manifest as high operating temperatures, which threaten the operability and reliability of chips. My research focusses on temperature aware design of Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) for reduced leakage power and enhanced system reliability during different stages of design flow.
At the system level, we have done research on:Temperature and floorplan aware leakage estimation
Floorplanning for reducing leakage power
Floorplanning for enhanced SRAM reliability
Communication architecture (bus) based thermal management
At the microarchitectural level, we have done research on:Power, performance, and thermal profiling of SMT processors
Thermal management of SMT processors
Reducing register file's peak temperature by regionalizing and access pattern redistribution
Leakage and temperature control of SRAM peripheral circuits
Thermal aware SRAM-design with power & reliability constraints
At the physical level, we have done research on:Effect of temperature on SRAM reliability under the presence of process variations
Thermal aware global routing for enhanced reliability
Thermal aware cell Vt optimization
Thermal aware interconnect design
Thermal aware Design Rule Checking (DRC) to improve DFM (Design for Manufacturability)
