Cooling down hotspots – 3D-ICE

memory, research, thermalaware, thermalsoc

3D chips are a great idea – processors placed one on top of the other, for a superfast transmission of data. The trouble is that chips heat up, and if you pile them up they heat up even faster. 3D-ICE is a powerful thermal emulator for three-dimensional computing. Version 3.1 is presented in a new (…)

A detailed breakdown of the chip and its component processes and features is presented in the (…)

Predicting the future with CloudProphet

memory, research, servers

If we are going to reduce the carbon footprint of data centers we need to use computing resources more efficiently. If processes always made use of data center facilities in a regular way, it would be an easy game. However, the resources of a data center are used by customers (more often customers of customers) (…)
