2. 1. Energy Efficient Task Mapping and Resource Management on Multi-core Architectures

   Author : Jing Chen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Consumption; Resource Management; Runtime; Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling DVFS ; Predictive Models; Task Scheduling;

   Abstract : Reducing energy consumption of parallel applications executing on chip multi- processors (CMPs) is important for green computing. Hardware vendors have been developing a variety of system features to support energy efficient computing, for example, integrating asymmetric core types on a single chip referred to as static asymmetry and supporting dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) referred to as dynamic asymmetry.

4. 2. Runtime Management of Multiprocessor Systems for Fault Tolerance, Energy Efficiency and Load Balancing

   Author : Stavros Tzilis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fault Tolerance; Algorithms; Runtime Management; Multiprocessors; Performance; Adaptive Systems; Load Balancing; Energy Efficiency;

   Abstract : Efficiency of modern multiprocessor systems is hurt by unpredictable events: aging causes permanent faults that disable components; application spawnings and terminations taking place at arbitrary times, affect energy proportionality, causing energy waste; load imbalances reduce resource utilization, penalizing performance. This thesis demonstrates how runtime management can mitigate the negative effects of unpredictable events, making decisions guided by a combination of static information known in advance and parameters that only become known at runtime.

5. 3. Towards Runtime-Assisted Cache Management for Task-Parallel Programs

   Author : Madhavan Manivannan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; task parallelism; cache hierarchy; runtime system; dead blocks; multi-core architecture; sharing patterns;

   Abstract : Architects have adopted the shared memory model that implicitly manages cache coherence and cache capacity in hardware, mainly to aid programmability of multi-core architectures. The hardware mechanisms are however prone to inefficiencies because they are not tailored to the behavior of individual parallel applications. READ MORE

6. 4. Cooperative user- and system-level scheduling of task-centric parallel programs

   Author : Georgios Varisteas; Mats Brorsson; Karl-Filip Faxén; Timothy Roscoe; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; parallel; workload; runtime; task; adaptive; resource management; load balancing; work-stealing; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

   Abstract : Emerging architecture designs include tens of processing cores on a single chip die; it is believed that the number of cores will reach the hundreds in not so many years from now. However, most common workloads cannot expose fluctuating parallelism, insufficient to utilize such systems. READ MORE

7. 5. Effective cooperative scheduling of task-parallel applications on multiprogrammed parallel architectures

   Author : Georgios Varisteas; Mats Brorsson; Avi Mendelson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multicore; parallel; scheduler; workload; runtime; task; adaptive; resource management; load balancing; work-stealing; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : Emerging architecture designs include tens of processing cores on a single chip die; it is believed that the number of cores will reach the hundreds in not so many years from now. However, most common parallel workloads cannot fully utilize such systems. READ MORE
