Meeting the temperature constraints and reducing the hot-spots are critical for achieving reliable and efficient operation of complex multi-core systems. The goal of thermal management is to meet maximum operating temperature constraints, while tracking timevarying performance requirements. Current approaches avoid thermal violations by forcing abrupt operating points changes, which cause sharp performance degradation. In this paper we aim at achieving an online smooth thermal control action, that minimizes the tracking error. We formulate this problem as a discrete-time optimal control problem, which can be solved via online by using an embedded convex optimization solver using a receding horizon approach. The optimization problem considers the thermal profile of the system, its evolution over time, current and past time-varying workload requirements. We perform experiments on a model of the 8-core Niagara-1 multicore architecture, which show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art thermal management approaches by enabling performance speed-ups of up to 2:5£ and improvements up to 12x and 3.4x in relation to frequency and temperature variations over time, respectively.
