Abstract
Techniques for temperature control for multiple dies in an element. A temperature of a first die is measured, in an element including the first die and a second die. The second die includes at least a portion of a controller. The temperature of the first die is changed by adjusting activity, from the second die to the first die, based on a target temperature for the first die and the measured temperature for the first die.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- measuring a temperature of a first die, in an element comprising the first die and a second die, wherein the second die comprises at least a portion of a controller;
- changing the temperature of the first die by adjusting a volume of controller traffic transmitted from the second die to the first die based on a target temperature for the first die and the measured temperature for the first die, wherein the first die comprises a memory and adjusting the volume of controller traffic transmitted from the second die to the first die is further based on an amount of activity at the memory.
A system, comprising:
- an element comprising a first die and a second die, wherein:
- the second die comprises at least a portion of a controller,
- the element comprises a co-packaged die,
- the first die comprises a memory comprising a plurality of stacked memory dies, and
- the controller comprises an integrated circuit (IC) comprising one or more dies;
- and
- a memory storing a program, which, when executed on a processor, performs an operation, the operation comprising:
- measuring a temperature of the first die;
- and
- adjusting a volume of controller traffic transmitted from the second die to the first die to change the temperature of the first die, wherein the adjusting is based on:
- (i) a target temperature for the first die;
- (ii) the measured temperature for the first die;
- and (iii) an amount of activity at the memory.
