13th Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC 2007)
Power-Performance Trade-Off of a Dependable Multicore Processor
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
December 17-December 19
ISBN: 0-7695-3054-0
As deep submicron technologies are advanced, new challenges, such as power consumption and soft errors, are emerging. A na?ve technique, which utilizes emerging multicore processors and relies upon thread-level redundancy to detect soft errors, is power hungry. Another technique, which relies upon instruction-level redundancy, diminishes computing performance seriously. This paper investigates trade-off between power and performance of a dependable multicore processor, which is named multiple clustered core processor (MCCP). It is proposed to hybrid threadand instruction-level redundancy to achieve both large power efficiency and small performance loss. Detailed simulations show that the MCCP exploiting the hybrid technique improves power efficiency in energy-delay product by 13% when it is compared with the one exploiting the na?ve thread-level technique.
