Field Documentation

◆ NCells

CellIndex_t GridDimensions_t::NCells

The number of thermal cells into which the IC is divided.

This value is computed as NRows times NColumns times NLayers.

Definition at line 203 of file dimensions.h.

◆ NColumns

CellIndex_t GridDimensions_t::NColumns

The number of columns along the west-east direction.

The index of a column increases from west to east.

If there are no channels in the stack or the 2RM thermal model is used, this value is computed as the ratio between the length of the IC and the length of the thermal cell. When the 4RM thermal model is used, instead, this value must be odd and at greather than three. Moreover, the length of the IC, together with the lengths of the cavity of the channel and the walls must be such that the resulting number of column is an integer value.

Definition at line 197 of file dimensions.h.

◆ NConnections

CellIndex_t GridDimensions_t::NConnections

The number of connections between the thermal cells.

Definition at line 207 of file dimensions.h.

◆ NLayers

CellIndex_t GridDimensions_t::NLayers

The number of layers along the bottom-top direction.

The index of a layer increases from bottom to top.

This value is computed as the sum of the number of layers used by each stack element (die, channel or layers)

Definition at line 173 of file dimensions.h.

◆ NRows

CellIndex_t GridDimensions_t::NRows

The number of rows along the south-north direction.

The index of a row increases from south to north.

This value is computed as the ratio between the width of the IC and the width of the thermal cell
