In this paper, we have proposed a novel architectural level simulation platform set-up to study the temperature characteristics of a processor system, when applying different speed scheduling schemes to execute the desired workload. Our simulation platform set-up is very practical as it combines the most practical simulation models, and uses the industrystandardized benchmark SPEC CPU2000 as the input to the platform. On this novel platform set-up we have compared two speed scheduling techniques, namely m-oscillation and a traditional optimal dynamic energy reducing speed scheduling technique, and have shown that m-oscillation can be as effective as the traditional approach in reducing the peak temperature of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
