Increasing Off-Chip Bandwidth and Mitigating Dark Silicon via Switchable Pins

Off-chip memory bandwidth has been considered as one of the major limiting factors to processor performance, especially for multi-cores and many-cores. Conventional processor design allocates a large portion of off-chip pins to deliver power, leaving a small number of pins for processor signal commu...
