Research on novel power consumption mitigation techniques to Dark Silicon problem for future MPSoCs.

“暗硅”涉及超大规模集成电路芯片中不能通电的电路数量，即，由于功率和带宽预算的限制，在标称电压/频率下工作。这是未来大规模基于片上网络的MPSoC实现的最大障碍之一PI参加了高质量的国际会议，能够评估未来系统方法的原创性和适用性，嵌入式和高性能的。一个片上网络模拟器正在构建我们新提出的路由器和控制机制的详细分析。

"Dark Silicon" relates to the amount of circuitry in a VLSI chip which cannot be powered-on, i.e., work at nominal voltage/frequency, due to power and bandwidth budget constraints. This is one the greatest obstacles for future implementations of large NoC-based MPSoCs.This research tries to sprout a new class of intelligent network management techniques (packet control) to mitigate power consumption due to communication and allow new levels of performance and/or power efficiency.The PI attended high quality international conferences being able to assess the originality and suitability of the methodology for future systems, both embedded and high performance ones. A NoC simulator is being constructed for detailed analysis of our newly proposed routers and control mechanisms.
