3차원 멀티코어 프로세서는 기존의 멀티코어 프로세서에서 문제가 되던 연결망 지연시간과 전력문제를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 프로세서 설계기술이다. 하지만, 전력밀도의 증가로 인해 발생하는 열섬현상은 3차원 멀티코어 프로세서의 새로운 문제점으로 두드러지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 동적 온도 관리 기법이 사용되지만, 동적 온도 관리 기법을 적용하면 시스템에 성능 저하가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3차원 멀티코어 프로세서에서 문제가 되는 열섬현상을 해결하기 위해 고온의 유닛을 대상으로 동적 온도 관리 기법을 적용하고자 한다. 실험대상으로는 시스템 성능에 많은 영향을 미치고 높은 접근 때문에 고온이 발생하는 TLB 유닛을 사용하고자 한다. 특히, 시스템의 성능 저하를 줄이기 위해서 기존의 시스템보다 낮은 성능을 보이는 마이크로 TLB 구조를 적용해 보고자 한다. 성능이 낮은 구조의 경우 일반적으로 더 낮은 온도 분포를 보이며 동적 온도 관리 기법에 영향을 덜 받기 때문에 동적 온도 관리 기법만 적용한 구조보다 더 낮은 성능 저하를 보일 수 있다. 실험결과 동적 온도 관리 기법을 적용한 경우 기존의 시스템에 비해 23.4%의 성능 저하가 발생하고 마이크로 TLB 구조를 적용한 경우 27.1%의 성능 저하가 발생함을 알 수 있다.

Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) degrades the processor performance for lowering temperature. For this reason, reducing the peak temperature on microprocessors can improve the performance by reducing the performance loss due to DTM. In this study, we analyze various unit selection techniques for computation migration. According to our simulation results, dynamic computation migration based on the thermal difference between the units shows best performance among compared models.

Speculative execution for improving instruction-level parallelism is widely used in high-performance processors. In the speculative execution technique, the most important factor is the accuracy of branch predictor. Unfortunately, complex branch predictors for improving the accuracy can cause serious thermal problems in 3D multicore processors. Thermal problems have negative impact on the processor performance. This paper analyzes two methods to solve the thermal problems in the branch predictor of 3D multi-core processors. First method is dynamic thermal management which turns off the execution of the branch predictor when the temperature of the branch predictor exceeds the threshold. Second method is thermal-aware branch predictor placement policy by considering each layer's temperature in 3D multi-core processors. According to our evaluation, the branch predictor placement policy shows that average temperature is $87.69^{\circ}C$, and average maximum temperature gradient is $11.17^{\circ}C$. And, dynamic thermal management shows that average temperature is $89.64^{\circ}C$ and average maximum temperature gradient is $17.62^{\circ}C$. Proposed branch predictor placement policy has superior thermal efficiency than the dynamic thermal management. In the perspective of performance, the proposed branch predictor placement policy degrades the performance by 3.61%, while the dynamic thermal management degrades the performance by 27.66%.

Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) technique is generally used for reducing the peak temperature (hotspot) in the microprocessors. Despite the advantages of lower cooling cost and improved stability, the DTM technique inevitably suffers from performance loss. This paper proposes the DualFloating-Point Adders Architecture to minimize the performance loss due to thermal problem when the floating-point applications are executed. During running floating-point applications, only one of two floating-point adders is used selectively in the proposed architecture, leading to reduced peak temperature in the processor. We also propose a new floorplan technique, which creates Space for Heat Transfer Delay in the processor for solving the thermal problem due to heat transfer between adjacent hot units. As a result, the peak temperature drops by $5.3^{\circ}C$ on the average (maximum $10.8^{\circ}C$ for the processor where the DTM is adopted, consequently giving a solution to the thermal problem. Moreover, the processor performance is improved by 41% on the average by reducing the stall time due to the DTM.

Cable was targeted for cable, which is a main material of cable-stayed bridges that have high frequency of use at home and abroad and many future construction plans. First of all, experiments were conducted on temperature loads that were permanently used due to changes in temperature of cables and changes in air temperature, taking into account changes in normal fat. The dynamic characteristics of cables were compared and analyzed by applying various systems to change dynamic characteristics by applying temperature change of cables. Comparing and analyzing the dynamic characteristics of cables, the acceleration, frequency and tension of cables due to temperature rise tended to decrease, the degree of influence of displacement of cables was analyzed, and the results of the mode characteristics of cables were analyzed. In particular, the correlation of cable acceleration, natural frequency, and tension due to changes in cable temperature showed that the cable tension is highly sensitive to acceleration and natural frequency.

As the process technology scales down, an interconnection has became a major performance constraint for multi-core processors. Recently, in order to mitigate the performance bottleneck of the interconnection for multi-core processors, a 3D integration technique has drawn quite attention. The 3D integrated multi-core processor has advantage for reducing global wire length, resulting in a performance improvement. However, it causes serious thermal problems due to increased power density. For this reason, to design efficient 3D multi-core processors, thermal-aware design techniques should be considered. In this paper, we analyze the temperature on the 3D multi-core processors in function unit level through various experiments. We also present temperature characteristics by varying application features, cooling characteristics, and frequency levels on 3D multi-core processors. According to our experimental results, following two rules should be obeyed for thermal-aware 3D processor design. First, to optimize the thermal profile of cores, the core with higher cooling efficiency should be clocked at a higher frequency. Second, to lower the temperature of cores, a workload with higher thermal impact should be assigned to the core with higher cooling efficiency.

본 논문은 기존의 XIP 기법에서 발생할 수 있는 메모리 접근 성능저하를 해결하기 위한 동적 XIP 기법을 제안하였다. 동적 XIP 기법은 상대적으로 성능저하가 적을 것으로 예상되는 코드 페이지들을 동적으로 선택하여 XIP 영역으로 설정하고, 성능저하가 크게 나타날 것으로 예상되는 코드 페이지들을 램 캐시에 캐싱하여 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문은 램 캐시를 관리하기 위해 MIN 캐시 알고리즘 및 메모리 접근 비용을 고려한 오프라인 캐시 알고리즘과, 페이지 접근에 대한 최신성(Recency) 및 슬라이딩 윈도우에 저장된 페이지 접근 기록에 기반하여 메모리 접근 비용을 예측하는 온라인 캐시 알고리즘, 온라인 캐시 알고리즘의 램 캐싱 판단의 정확성을 높이는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 온·오프라인 알고리즘의 성능비교를 위해 시뮬레이터를 통해 성능을 평가하였고, 유용성을 시험하기 위해 온라인 알고리즘을 리눅스를 기반으로 구현하여 성능을 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 동적 XIP는 실제 구현한 환경에서 실험한 결과, 작은 크기의 캐시를 사용하고도 수행시간에서는 최대 27%, 에너지 소모량에서는 최대 24%의 성능이 향상됨을 보였다.

In data-centric networks, various data items, such as temperature, humidity, etc. are sensed and stored in sensor nodes. As these attributes are mostly scalar values and inter-related, multi-dimensional range queries are useful. To process multi-dimensional range queries efficiently in data-centric storage, data addressing is essential. The Previous work focused on efficient query processing without considering overall network lifetime. To prolong network lifetime and support multi-dimensional range queries, we propose a dynamic data distribution method for multi-dimensional data, where data space is divided into equal-sized regions and linearized by using Hilbert space filling curve.

The typical operating temperature of an automotive fuel cell is lower than that of an internal combustion engine, which necessitates a refined strategy for thermal management. In particular, the performance of the cooling module has to be higher for a fuel cell system because the temperature difference between the fuel cell and the surrounding is lower than in the case of the internal combustion engine. Even though the cooling system of an automotive fuel cell determines the operating temperature and temperature distribution of the fuel cell, it has attracted little research attention. This study presents the mathematical model of a cooling system for an automotive fuel cell system using Matlab/$Simulink^{(R)}$. In particular, a radiator model is developed for design optimization from the development stage to the operating stage for an automotive fuel cell. The cooling system model comprises a fan, pump, and radiator. The pump and fan model have an empirical relation, and the dynamics of the pump and fan are only explained by motor dynamics. The basic design study was conducted, and the geometric setup of the radiator was investigated. When the control logic was applied, the pump senses the coolant inlet temperature and the fan senses the coolant out temperature. Additionally, the cooling module is integrated with the fuel cell system model so that the performance of the cooling module can be investigated under realistic operating conditions.
