Resource-Based EM Modeling DRM for Multi-Core Microprocessors

In this chapter, a new approach for system-level reliability management for multi-/manycore microprocessors is introduced. Early works mainly focus on dynamic thermal management (DTM ) techniques, which have been proposed in the past to keep the temperature to stay below a limit to avoid the temperature-sensitive long-term reliability problems. Those techniques, which typically consist of dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS ), task throttling, and clock gating, were first developed for single core microprocessors.
