Efficient Power Management in Multicore Systems using Distributed On-Chip Switched-Capacitor Converters with DVFS

Efficient power management is paramount in modern multicore systems to balance performance and energy consumption. This paper explores the integration of Distributed On-Chip Switched-Capacitor Converters (DoS-DCCs) with Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) support to address this challenge. DoS-DCCs offer a decentralized approach to power delivery, enabling localized conversion tailored to individual cores or clusters. Leveraging a switched-capacitor architecture, these converters provide benefits such as high efficiency and compatibility with standard CMOS processes. By integrating DVFS, DoS-DCCs empower cores to dynamically adjust their voltage and frequency, optimizing performance while minimizing energy usage. This paper presents the implementation of DoS-DCCs with DVFS support in multicore systems and discusses their potential to enhance power efficiency and performance scalability in modern computing environments. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the implementation and benefits of DoS-DCCs with DVFS support in multicore systems. Through simulation studies and experimental validation, the effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated in improving power efficiency and performance scalability. Furthermore, potential challenges and future research directions for advancing the integration of DoS-DCCs with DVFS in next-generation multicore architectures are outlined. Overall, the combination of Distributed On-Chip Switched-Capacitor Converters and Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling offers a compelling solution for efficient power management in multicore systems, paving the way for enhanced performance and energy efficiency in future computing platforms.
