Abstract: A new singular value-awared method of solving and sensor allocation strategy were proposed for the temperature sensors embedded in microprocessors as to monitor the thermal behavior. The strategy discussed how many temperature sensors we need at least to satisfy the max error to be allowed by using of improved dual clustering algorithm. The experimental results indicate the superiority of the technique and confirm that it can calculate the minimum number of sensors with the max error allowed in widely used microprocessor architecture. Much less sensors are used compared with the k-means cluster algorithm.
