【摘要】The ever-increasing power consumption has been one of the design challenges for high-performance many-core sys-tems.On-chip processor cores of many-core systems cannot operate at their peak frequency simultaneously due to the limited chip power budget,which is set

capacity.This paper formulated the performance optimization problem formally,and proposed power allocation algorithm based dynamic programming to solve this problem,it had a linear time complexity,and it was quite scalable to the problem size.Experimental results have confirmed that this algorithm can reduce the execution time by 30%,compared to other competing methods.The runtime overhead and hardware cost are found to be reasonably small,which makes this scheme suitable for future many-core systems.%高性能众核系统芯片快速增长的功耗成为限制其性能发展的瓶颈之一。由于受到散热、封装、外部供电能力等限制,众核系统芯片的功率预算不足以支撑芯片内所有处理器核同时正常工作。针对暗硅背景下功率受限的情况,对众核系统芯片功率分配进行了研究。提出一种新的能量分配算法———基于动态规划的并行分配方式,在功率
