Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If consistent frequencies are supplied to all operational chips and cores, then device complexity is reduced, but computing performance is not maximized due to inability to utilize high-performance cores effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the operational chips into multiple frequency groups (first frequency operational chips and second frequency operational chips) and further segments cores within each chip into different frequency groups. This segmentation allows high-performance cores to operate at higher frequencies while low-performance cores operate at lower frequencies, maximizing overall computing performance without requiring complex individual control of every core.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different working frequencies to different operational chips and cores based on their performance characteristics. High-performance cores receive higher frequencies while low-performance cores receive lower frequencies, allowing each component to operate at its optimal frequency rather than using a uniform frequency across all components.
2Productivity
If frequency modulation is implemented for each core individually, then computing performance is maximized, but device complexity and control difficulty increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of individually controlling each core's frequency, the patent segments cores into groups based on performance and assigns frequencies at the chip level. Each operational chip is assigned to one of two frequency groups, and cores within chips are segmented into first and second frequency groups. This reduces the control complexity from individual core level to chip level while still achieving performance optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the frequency modulation mechanism applicable to multiple operational chips simultaneously through a unified control approach. The same frequency modulation strategy is applied across all chips, with each chip being able to operate in either first frequency or second frequency mode, providing a universal solution that scales with the number of chips without proportionally increasing control complexity.
3Speed
If high frequencies are assigned to all cores, then computing speed increases, but low-performance cores cannot handle the frequency leading to operational errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different working frequencies to different operational chips and cores based on their performance characteristics. High-performance cores receive higher frequencies while low-performance cores receive lower frequencies, allowing each component to operate at its optimal frequency rather than using a uniform frequency across all components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic frequency assignment where operational chips can be switched between first frequency and second frequency modes based on real-time performance requirements and chip capabilities. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt frequency assignments to match actual operational conditions, ensuring both speed and reliability.
