Abstract:
TEMPERATURE INVERSION IS A TRANSISTOR-LEVEL EFFECT THAT IMPROVES PERFORMANCE WHEN TEMPERATURE INCREASES. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS A COMPREHENSIVE MEASUREMENT-BASED ANALYSIS OF ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR ARCHITECTURE DESIGN AND POWER MANAGEMENT USING THE AMD A10-8700P PROCESSOR. THE AUTHORS PROPOSE TEMPERATURE-INVERSION STATES (TI -STATES) TO HARNESS THE OPPORTUNITIES PROMISED BY TEMPERATURE INVERSION. THEY EXPECT TI -STATES TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVE THE POWER EFFICIENCY OF MANY PROCESSORS MANUFACTURED IN FUTURE CMOS TECHNOLOGIES.
