		<description><![CDATA[In response to Leigh’s comment, we explore a second or rather first example of dark silicon utilization in the relatively “old” Ambric architecture whose introduction was not associated with dark silicon.Ambric’s innovation involved software objects assigned to specific combinations of cores and/or memory whose execution could proceed in their own time and at their own clock rate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In August 2010 it appeared that UCSD/MIT and soon others would solve the dark silicon problem.All would be well: Moore’s Law that provides more transistors would also provide higher compute performance. ARM described dark silicon as a problem that must be solved by innovative design, but can it be fully solved? We look at the dependencies among system, die, and compute performance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The power budget of a reference die is almost constant due to the die’s fixed dimensions. The die will reach a semiconductor technology node where only a small percent of its Moore’s Law–predicted transistors can be driven. The remaining transistors are the dark silicon. UCSD describes a new approach that does not increase the SoC’s power budget, but it can employ more dark silicon that would otherwise remain unused.]]></description>
