I need to feed the processor floorplan to HotSpot to get all the thermal details. I am unable to find the "Intel Core 2 Duo E6420" floorplan (Conroe Dual Core architecture). Kindly let me know how to generate the floorplan or is it available in the internet? In the .flp file we need to mention the connectivity and dimensions. Where can I get these details? In general for any processor how do we get the floorplan as required for HotSpot? -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The accuracy and granularity of the power model constrains the thermal model accuracy and granularity. The z dimension can be a little relaxed, as long as the x,y size of a cell is not significantly smaller than the thickness of the silicon die (for example, an order or more of magnitude smaller), there is no need to further divide silicon into multiple layers.

There is an option -grid_steady_file that reports steady temperature at grid granularity (mainly for thermal plotting reason). I don't think we have the option of dumping transient grid cell temperature, although those temperatures are available. The transient temperatures in the dump file are calculated from the transient grid temperatures. Can you tell us more details on what you want to do with the grid transient temperatures? You may have to add your own function call to dump that (which is easy to do, please refer to other dump temperature function calls). We didn't include this in the release since there is no obvious reasons why users want this and the dump file can be huge. One scenario I can see is an animated movie of detailed temperature change over time. -Wei On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 1:30 PM, Amirkoushyar Ziabari wrote: > Dear Wei, > > Thanks for your response.
