Incinerator

Overview

The incinerator is a localized power virus that targets multiple sub-units simultaneously. It combines dense Vector ALU math with extreme Local Data Share (LDS) thrashing to maximize physical die temperature.

Execution Mechanics

Instead of just spamming math instructions, this kernel forces simultaneous congestion across the die:

• Vector Unit Stress: Continuously loops Fused Multiply-Add (FMA) instructions.
• SRAM Stress: Threads constantly read, modify, and write back to shared memory (LDS).
• Intentional Congestion: It uses an XOR bitwise operation on the thread indices to intentionally cause massive SRAM bank conflicts, generating excess heat through hardware stalls.

Target Subsystems

• Primary Target: Vector ALUs and Shared Memory (L1/LDS) arrays.
• Secondary Target: Silicon thermal dissipation limits.

Failure Symptoms

Critical Failures

• Aggressive Core Clock Drops: The silicon will rapidly hit its [THERMAL] throttle limit, dropping clocks to base frequencies to prevent physical melting.
• General Instability: Arithmetic errors due to extreme localized heat expanding the silicon traces.
