For an integer m\geq 1, we consider partitions of a 2^m\times 2^m chessboard into rectangles consisting of cells of chessboard, in which each of the 2^m cells along one diagonal forms a separate rectangle of side length 1. Determine the smallest possible sum of rectangle perimeters in such a partition.
