Abstract:
Runtime-based monitoring and adaptation are indispensable system management tasks for efficient operation of complex heterogeneous Multi-Processor-System-on-Chip (MPSoC) under dynamic workloads. Thereby, runtimeadaptive mechanisms like application mapping, adaptive routing or thermal management will have their own parameter, requirements and information flows. The main contribution of this work is the evaluation of a cluster-based, runtime-configurable and multi-objective system management strategy that combines the needed information flows of different runtime-mechanisms and supports the reuse of collected data for higher system-level services. This will increase the benefit-cost-ratio of needed hardware extensions and further tackles the system management aspect in a holistic way.
