Abstract

Energy consumption is becoming one of the key optimization objects in on-chip multiprocessor. Minimizing the energy consumption without parallel performance loss is concerned. In this paper, we focus on a DVFS-enabled on-chip multiprocessor architecture, which allows dynamically adjusting each processor's voltage/frequency or shut down unused processors so to obtain energy savings. A detailed analytical model is provided and validated by experiments. Experimental results show energy saving can be up to 10.34% without performance loss.
