Fuzzy Logic-Based DSE Engine: Reconfiguration for Optimization of Multicore Architectures. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Moore's law has been one of the reason behind the evolution of multicore architectures. Modern multicore architectures offer great amount of parallelism and on-chip resources that remain underutilized. This is partly due to inefficient resource allocation by operating system or application being executed. Consequently the poor resource utilization results in greater energy consumption and less throughput. This paper presents a fuzzy logic-based design space exploration (DSE) approach to reconfigure a multicore architecture according to workload requirements. The target design space is explored for L1 and L2 cache size and associativity, operating frequency, and number of cores, while the impact of various configurations of these parameters is analyzed on throughput, miss ratios for L1 and L2 cache and energy consumption. MARSSx86, a cycle accurate simulator, running various SPALSH-2 benchmark applications has been used to evaluate the architecture. The proposed fuzzy logic-based DSE approach resulted in reduction in energy consumption along with an overall improved throughput of the system. |
