Abstract :
The dynamic thermal management problem is posed for multi-processing element (multi-PE) computing systems (which can support both dynamic re-parallelisation of tasks across PEs and their operating frequencies) as a multi-constraint optimisation problem. Proposed is a cellular nonlinear network controller as an online solver of this problem. Results obtained through a simulation model are presented followed by a brief overview of pertinent literature.
