Phase distance mapping: a phase-based cache tuning methodology for embedded systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Networked embedded systems typically leverage a collection of low-power embedded systems (nodes) to collaboratively execute applications spanning diverse application domains (e.g., video, image processing, communication, etc.) with diverse application requirements. The individual networked nodes must operate under stringent constraints (e.g., energy, memory, etc.) and should be specialized to meet varying applications’ requirements in order to adhere to these constraints. Phase-based tuning specializes a system’s tunable parameters to the varying runtime requirements of an application’s different phases of execution to meet optimization goals. Since the design space for tunable systems can be very large, one of the major challenges in phase-based tuning is determining the best configuration for each phase without incurring significant tuning overhead (e.g., energy and/or performance) during design space exploration. In this paper, we propose phase distance mapping, which directly determines the best configuration for a phase, thereby eliminating design space exploration. Phase distance mapping applies the correlation between a known phase’s characteristics and best configuration to determine a new phase’s best configuration based on the new phase’s characteristics. Experimental results verify that our phase distance mapping approach, when applied to cache tuning, determines cache configurations within 1 % of the optimal configurations on average and yields an energy delay product savings of

TaPT: Temperature-Aware Dynamic Cache Optimization for Embedded Systems
Embedded systems have stringent design constraints, which has necessitated much prior research focus on optimizing energy consumption and/or performance. Since embedded systems typically have fewer cooling options, rising temperature, and thus temperature optimization, is an emergent concern. Most embedded systems only dissipate heat by passive convection, due to the absence of dedicated therma...

متن کاملChapter 6 TUNING CACHES TO APPLICATIONS FOR LOW - ENERGY EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
The power consumed by the memory hierarchy of a microprocessor can contribute to as much as 50% of the total microprocessor system power, and is thus a good candidate for power and energy optimizations. We discuss four methods for tuning a microprocessors’ cache subsystem to the needs of any executing application for low-energy embedded systems. We introduce onchip hardware implementing an effi...

Real-time Reconfigurable Cache for Embedded Systems
Modern embedded systems execute a small set of applications or even a single one repeatedly. Specializing cache configurations to a particular application is well-known to have great benefits on performance and power. To reduce the searching for optimal cache configuration, a most-case optimal cache configuration searching algorithm was proposed which greatly reduces the time and power in searc...
