Abstract
In order to optimize global energy ef ficiency in the context of dynamic process, voltage and t emperature vari- ations in advanced nodes, a fine-grain adaptive voltage and frequency scaling architecture is proposed for multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC), where each proc essing element is an independent voltage–frequen cy island. This architecture has been implemented on a 32 nm globally asynchronous locally-syn- chronous MPSoC. It shows up to 18.2% e nergy gains thanks to local adaptability compared with a global dynamic voltage and frequency scaling approach using 25% timing margins between slow and nominal process, by reduc ing margins to 60 ps of the real process. These gains are obtained for a total area overhead of 10% including local frequency/ voltage actuators, sensors, and digital controller.
