(2018) “An Application- and Platform-agnostic Control and Monitoring Framework for Multicore Systems.” 3rd International Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing (PEC). Data supporting figures: Fig. 2: Device temperature optimisation under application performance constraints using the controller RTM, including dynamic adjustment of the temperature threshold from 80 to 60C. Fig. 3: Design-space exploration of the Jacobi application across the Odroid- XU3 and Cyclone V devices. Fig. 4: Runtime management of the throughput of two concurrently-executing applications through the framework. The Jacobi application begins execution at 21 seconds and the device frequency is adjusted to compensate. Fig. 5: Mean total energy consumed by the Odroid-XU3 running the video decoder application under the control of each RTM, both with and without the framework (FW). The experiment was repeated 50 times for each RTM.
