Title
Simultaneous PVT-tolerant voltage-island formation and core placement for thousand-core platforms
Abstract
In this paper, we propse a novel approach to voltage island formation and core placement for energy optimization in manycore architectures under parameter variation at pre-fabrication stage. We group the cores into irregular "cloud-shaped" valtage islands. The island are created by balancing the desire to limit the spatial extent of each island, to reduce PVT impact, with the communication patterns between islands. Compared to using rectangular islands, our approach leads to power improvements between 10 and 12%.
