Low Power Methods for GPU Design Optimizations

Description

The paper comprises of modern-day low power solutions to enhance the design of graphics processing unit (GPU).  The change in the design to low voltage distribution network will allow the GPU to sweep bi-directionally, increasing the scope of the parallelization of the load. This indeed can be achieved by optimally determining and controlling the data load.

Further, irrelevant data load can lead to the lagged processor and lead to potential increase in the memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth of memory directly leads to more power consumption rising the energy consumed. Therefore, reducing the data traffic results in better and faster design.  This paper highlights the procedures to reduce the data traffic for newly innovated applications, focusing the improvement and efficiency of the architecture.
