Emulation of an ASIC power and temperature monitoring system (eTPMon) for FPGA prototyping

eTPMon can supply MPSoC prototypes with the hardware status information (power and temperature of the cores) needed for efficient load distribution, achieving resource-aware computing targets. Based on the eTPMon data, different operating strategies and control targets were evaluated for a 2-tile resource-aware MPSoC system. Values provided by eTPMon are usable for extracting information about the aging of processors, which can be used for increasing the system lifetime.
