Near Threshold Computing
Description
· Provides an introduction to near-threshold computing, enabling reader with a variety of tools to face the challenges of the power/utilization wall;
· Demonstrates how to design efficient voltage regulation, so that each region of the chip can operate at the most efficient voltage and frequency point;
· Investigates how performance guarantees can be ensured when moving towards NTC manycores through variability-aware voltage and frequency allocation schemes.
