Adaptive techniques for dynamic processor optimization: theory and practice

This book is about various adaptive and dynamic techniques used to optimize processor power and performance. It is based on a very successful forum at ISSCC which focused on Adaptive Techniques. Most high performance processors and embedded processors use adaptive techniques to overcome process variation, temperature, and termal effects. This book will look at the underlying process technology for adaptive designs and then different circuits, architecture and software that address the different aspects. The chapters are written by both people in academia and the industry in order to show the scope of alternative practices. Focuses on various adaptive and dynamic techniques to optimize processor power and performance Includes information on the underlying process technology for adaptive designs Addresses the different aspects of different circuits, architecture, and software Contains chapters by both academic and industry engineers in order to provide a larger scope of alternative practices INDICE: Introduction.
