Abstract

Ability to supply more transistors per chip is outpacing improvements in cooling and power delivery. The result is operation that selectively powers on or off subsets of transistors. This paper suggests innovate ways to take advantage of the consequent dark silicon to meet a pair of additional emerging challenges-reliability and tolerance of variability.
