MY PHD WORK

During my PhD, to alleviate some of the power scaling issues of the future processing systems, I designed a high-performance, power-efficient and adaptive multicore processor that targets these future challenges in CMOS technology scaling by relying on (1) low-power, small processing cores that can be merged to run a single thread, and (2) leverage hardware components and compiler support to maximize performance and energy saving across distributed cores. To achieve maximum power efficiency, I studied the roots of inefficiencies in previous distributed uniprocessors and reinvented a variety of distributed fetch, operand deliver, branch prediction, and criticality enhancements for instructions within a single thread distributed across small cores. These components form the basis for a third-generation EDGE microarchitecture called T3. This dynamic multicore processor can operate very efficiently in different power and performance domains. In these projects, I also used different machine learning and criticality analysis for automating the design and optimization process. My work is also being incorporated into the E2 Dynamic Multicore System project at Microsoft Research.
