چکیده

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a temperature-aware DFS (Dynamic Frequency Scaling) technique using the performance counters that is already embedded in the commercial microprocessors. By using performance counters and simple regression analysis, we can predict the localized temperature and efficiently schedule the tasks considering the temperature. The proposed technique is especially beneficial to potential localized thermal problems that are inevitable due to limited number of costly CMOS thermal sensors. When localized thermal problems that were not detected by thermal sensors are found after fabrication, the thermal problems can be avoided by the proposed software solution without re-fabrication costs. The evaluation results show that the proposed technique is comparable to the DFS technique using CMOS thermal sensors.

Non-Fourier heat conduction equation in a sphere; comparison of variational method and inverse Laplace transformation with exact solution

Small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. Moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. Non-Fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of Fourier heat tran...

A New ILP Model for Identical Parallel-Machine Scheduling with Family Setup Times Minimizing the Total Weighted Flow Time by a Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents a novel, integer-linear programming (ILP) model for an identical parallel-machine scheduling problem with family setup times that minimizes the total weighted flow time (TWFT). Some researchers have addressed parallel-machine scheduling problems in the literature over the last three decades. However, the existing studies have been limited to the research of independent jobs,...

Experimental evaluation of thermal stability of PS- MWCNT nanocomposite as a real-time dosimeter

Introduction: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are ideal reinforcing fillers for a polymer matrix, because of their nanometer size, high aspect ratio and, more importantly, their excellent mechanical strength, and electrical and thermal conductivity. The CNTs are categorized into two groups: SWCNT and MWCNT. MWCNTs would have diameters ranging from 2 to 100 nm and lengths of up to tens ...
