Intel Chip Vision: Run Slow to Stay Cool
Keeping power under control at data centers is causing a radical reassessment of chip design, according to Shekhar Borkar, Intel’s director of MPU research. Cramming many cores on a die, most of them running at very low frequencies at operating voltages of less than half a volt, is likely to happen over the next decade. And self-aware systems will poll the processors about chip aging issues, such as NBTI. Continue reading →
