  1. 6. Decoupled Access-Execute on ARM big.LITTLE

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Anton Weber; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Decoupled Access-Execute (DAE) presents a novel approach to improve power efficiency with a combination of compile-time transformations and Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS). DAE splits regions of the program into two distinct phases: a memory-bound access phase and a compute-bound execute phase. READ MORE

  2. 7. Static Multi-Versioning for Efficient Prefetching

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Per Ekemark; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Energy efficiency is one of the biggest challenges in modern computer architecture. Increased performance and improved energy efficiency is always in demand whether it is for battery longevity in mobile applications or thermal limits in high-performance computing. To reach the best result, hardware and software must compliment each other. READ MORE

  3. 8. Putting Hard Real-time Applications together with Dark Silicon

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Björn Forsberg; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As the number of transistors per unit square on silicon chips continues to in- crease, the heat production of these chips also increases, making thermal problems more common. As the heat production is dependent on the clock frequency, chips today have a defined thermal safe speed at which the cooling system is sufficient to compensate for the produced heat. READ MORE

  4. 9. Evaluation of Energy-Optimizing Scheduling Algorithms for Streaming Computations on Massively Parallel Multicore Architectures

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Johan Janzén; [2014]
    Keywords : Intel SCC; DVFS; Task based programming; Static scheduling; Energy efficiency; Multicore;

    Abstract : This thesis describes an environment to evaluate and compare static schedulers for real pipelined streaming applications on massively parallel architectures, such as Intel Single chip Cloud Computer (SCC), Adapteva Epiphany, and Tilera TILE-Gx series. The framework allows performance comparison of schedulers in their execution time, or the energy usage of static schedules with energy models and measurements on real platform. READ MORE

  5. 10. GPU: Power vs Performance

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Siddhartha Sankar Mondal; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : GPUs are widely being used to meet the ever increasing demands of High performance computing. High-end GPUs are one of the highest consumers of power in a computer. Power dissipation has always been a major concern area  for computer architects.  Due to power efficiency demands modern CPUs have moved towards multicore architectures. READ MORE
