Building block operating system for 3D stacked computer systems with inductive coupling interconnect

Abstract

This paper describes the software system for the building block computing systems. The programs on the system are executed by the building block OS that manages configuration information of the 3D stacked chips and virtualizes the accelerators as the OpenCL functions. In addition, the OS controls the power supply of the chips implemented with SOTB (Silicon on Thin Box). This paper introduces the basic concepts and functions of the software systems for the building block computing systems.
