Asynchronous control of modules activity in integrated systems for reducing peak temperatures

The paper describes a new control method of integrated circuit (IC) modules activity in a modern processor design. The control method leads to improved frequency ability of integrated systems. The proposed solution, based only on computing flow modification, could be easily integrated into all future designs, ranging from a portable computing to a multi-core computing. A new approach to the thermal control method is described along with simulation results. An example of incorporation in current and future integrated circuits into mainstream designs is presented with exemplary algorithms and final simulation results.
