Aaron Thomas Stillmaker. Design of Energy-Efficient Many-Core MIMD GALS Processor Arrays in the 1000-Processor Era.2015.
Dissertation work on philosophy in electrical and computer engineering, performed at the University of California. This dissertation offers three different novel methods to perform a high throughput energy-efficient database sort data records using a fine-grained many-core processor array. The dissertation presents the developed physical design flow and design methodology for creating a digital chip in the 1000-processor era. A number of design considerations are discussed, including module design, power grid design, power gate system design, physical DVFS requirements, communication, and chip level layout.
