Title
Task-Resource Co-Allocation for Hotspot Minimization in Heterogeneous Many-Core NoCs.
Abstract
To fully exploit the massive parallelism of many cores, this work tackles the problem of mapping large-scale applications onto heterogeneous on-chip networks (NoCs) to minimize the peak workload for energy hotspot avoidance. A task-resource co-optimization framework is proposed which configures the on-chip communication infrastructure and maps the applications simultaneously and coherently, aiming to minimize the peak load under the constraints of computation power and communication capacity and a total cost budget of on-chip resources. The problem is first formulated into a linear programming model to search for optimal solution. A heuristic algorithm is further developed for fast design space exploration in extremely large-scale many-core NoCs. Extensive simulations are carried out under real-world benchmarks and randomly generated task graphs to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed schemes.
