Run-time resource management of heterogeneous multi-core systems is challenging due to i) dynamic workloads, that often result in ii) conflicting knob actuation decisions, which potentially iii) compromise on performance for thermal safety. We present a runtime resource management strategy for performance guarantees under power constraints using functionally approximate kernels that exploit accuracy-performance trade-offs within error resilient applications. Our controller integrates approximation with power knobs-DVFS, CPU quota, task migration-in coordinated manner to make performance-aware decisions on power management under variable workloads. Experimental results on Odroid XU3 show the effectiveness of this strategy in meeting performance requirements without power violations compared to existing solutions.

Abstract

Run-time resource management of heterogeneous multi-core systems is challenging due to i) dynamic workloads, that often result in ii) conflicting knob actuation decisions, which potentially iii) compromise on performance for thermal safety. We present a runtime resource management strategy for performance guarantees under power constraints using functionally approximate kernels that exploit accuracy-performance trade-offs within error resilient applications. Our controller integrates approximation with power knobs-DVFS, CPU quota, task migration-in coordinated manner to make performance-aware decisions on power management under variable workloads. Experimental results on Odroid XU3 show the effectiveness of this strategy in meeting performance requirements without power violations compared to existing solutions.
