In this paper, we for the first time utilize the micro-ring resonators (MRs) in optical networks-on-chip (ONoCs) to implement thermal sensing without requiring additional hardware or chip area. The challenges in accuracy and reliability that arise from fabrication-induced process variations (PVs) an...
