Hi all,
my research group is doing research in power/energy/thermal management in MPSoC systems. What we would like to investigate is the impact that hardware and software design choices have on the power/energy/thermal profile of the system. Actually, we would like to investigate the effectiveness of different approaches w.r.t. demperature distribution across the chip, considering a multi-core system.
For our purposes, we are evaluating the possibility to buy an FPGA-based board to do our experiments, but I have a doubt on FPGAs... In fact, I am not sure that FPGAs (due to their technology) are well suited for such research, and let me try to explain you my doubt: my feeling is that FPGAs will not enable us to see the temporal differences in power consumption when a core is performing useful work and when a core has no workload because FPGAs are "always on". Am I correct with this?
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Simone
