The objective of this embedded tutorial is to bring DATE attendees who are interested in low-power design for MPSoC to the forefront of the latest academic research and industrial practice in the area of closed-loop control of power and temperature in MPSoC. Starting with power capping techniques based on classical control theory, the tutorial will cover the more advanced techniques of optimal control, model predictive control, and adaptive control. Practical issues such as power and thermal proxies, power and thermal sensors, and various actuation techniques will be surveyed. Furthermore, the tutorial will cover recent techniques for pro-active and reactive closed-loop temperature control for 2D and 3D MPSoC, including the handling of emerging inter-tier liquid cooling techniques. It will also address optimal power control techniques in NoC architectures, with particular attention to methods for handling multiple voltage and clock domains under variable workloads. Important emerging problems such as heterogeneity of the computational fabric and scalability of the control methods will also be discussed along with their emerging solutions.
