Finding cool code: An analysis of source-level causes of temperature effects

This work discussed how source and microarchitectural level characteristics correlate with processor temperature. The first look is at correlations between phase changes and temperature changes, which shows that the relationship between phases and temperature are consistent across architectures but that code selection by the compiler can have an impact on phase lengths and temperature behaviors. Understanding temperature behaviors at the application level can lead to hints for thermal management or allow the developer to write code with thermal management in mind.
