    Abstract: A network of thermal sensors can be integrated within a semiconductor chip in a manner effective to provide local temperature monitoring and dynamic control of an associated device or system. The thermal sensors can include small area thermal ring oscillators located proximate to the core of a central processing unit (CPU), for example, and can be disposed on the chip at locations based on a designed output power density and attendant thermal gradients encountered during operation. In certain implementations, the presently-disclosed sensor configuration can be used to measure deviation from set threshold temperatures. Closed-loop control can be implemented to mitigate performance loss while adjusting the clock speed of the CPU independent of the system management unit.

    Abstract: In one form, a clock doubler includes a switched inverter, an exclusive logic circuit, and a control signal generation circuit. The switched inverter has first and second control inputs for respectively receiving first and second control signals, a signal input for receiving a clock input signal, and an output. The exclusive logic circuit has a first input for receiving the clock input signal, a second input coupled to the output of the switched inverter, and an output for providing a clock output signal. A control signal generation circuit provides the first and second control signals in response to the clock output signal. The clock doubler may be used in a clock distribution circuit for an integrated circuit that also includes a phase locked loop for providing the input clock signals, and a plurality of clock sub-domains each having one of the clock doublers.

    Abstract: A graphics processing unit (GPU) of a processing system is partitioned into multiple dies (referred to as GPU chiplets) that are configurable to collectively function and interface with an application as a single GPU in a first mode and as multiple GPUs in a second mode. By dividing the GPU into multiple GPU chiplets, the processing system flexibly and cost-effectively configures an amount of active GPU physical resources based on an operating mode. In addition, a configurable number of GPU chiplets are assembled into a single GPU, such that multiple different GPUs having different numbers of GPU chiplets can be assembled using a small number of tape-outs and a multiple-die GPU can be constructed out of GPU chiplets that implement varying generations of technology.
