EmerGPU: Understanding and mitigating resonance-induced voltage noise in GPU architectures
2016
2016 IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software (ISPASS)
This paper characterizes voltage noise in GPU architectures running general purpose workloads. In particular, it focuses on resonance-induced voltage noise, which is caused by workload-induced fluctuations in power demand that occur at the resonance frequency of the chip's power delivery network. A distributed power delivery model at functional unit granularity was developed and used to simulate supply voltage behavior in a GPU system. We observe that resonance noise can lead to very large
