Abstract
The evolution of the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) over the last decade, has reinforced general purpose computing while sustaining a steady performance growth in graphics intensive applications. However, the immense performance improvement GPUs are already close to the abominable power wall. With a massive popularity of the mobile devices running general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) applications, it is of utmost importance to ensure a high energy efficiency, while meeting the strict performance requirements. Hence, a flexible GPU design paradigm is the need of the hour.
In this work, using a system level Computer Aided Design (CAD) technique, we propose SSAGA - Streaming Multiprocessors Sculpted for Asymmetric GPGPU Applications, an energy efficient GPU design paradigm.
