Thermal-aware adaptive energy minimization of open MP parallel applications

Thermal-aware adaptive energy minimization of open MP parallel applications
Thermal-aware adaptive energy minimization of open MP parallel applications
Energy minimization of parallel applications considering thermal distributions among the processor cores is an emerging challenge for current and future generations of many-core computing systems. This paper proposes an adaptive energy minimization approach that hierarchically applies dynamic voltage\slash frequency scaling (DVFS), thread-to-core affinity and dynamic concurrency controls (DCT) to address this challenge. The aim is to minimize the energy consumption and achieve balanced thermal distributions among cores, thereby improving the lifetime reliability of the system, while meeting a specified power budget requirement. Fundamental to this approach is an iterative learning-based control algorithm that adapts the VFS and core allocations dynamically based on the CPU workloads and thermal distributions of the processor cores, guided by the CPU performance counters at regular intervals. The adaptation is facilitated through modified OpenMP library-based power budget annotations. The proposed approach is extensively validated on an Intel Xeon E5-2630 platform with up to 12 CPUs running NAS parallel benchmark applications.

Abstract

Energy minimization of parallel applications considering thermal distributions among the processor cores is an emerging challenge for current and future generations of many-core computing systems. This paper proposes an adaptive energy minimization approach that hierarchically applies dynamic voltage\slash frequency scaling (DVFS), thread-to-core affinity and dynamic concurrency controls (DCT) to address this challenge. The aim is to minimize the energy consumption and achieve balanced thermal distributions among cores, thereby improving the lifetime reliability of the system, while meeting a specified power budget requirement. Fundamental to this approach is an iterative learning-based control algorithm that adapts the VFS and core allocations dynamically based on the CPU workloads and thermal distributions of the processor cores, guided by the CPU performance counters at regular intervals. The adaptation is facilitated through modified OpenMP library-based power budget annotations. The proposed approach is extensively validated on an Intel Xeon E5-2630 platform with up to 12 CPUs running NAS parallel benchmark applications.
