The Slowdown or Race-to-idle Question: Workload-Aware Energy Optimization of SMT Multicore Platforms under Process Variation

Abstract: Abstract-Two widely used approaches for reducing energy consumption in multithreaded workloads are slowdown (using DVFS) and race-to-idle. In this paper, we first demonstrate that most energy-efficient choice is dependent on (1) workload (memory bound, CPU bound etc.), (2) process variation and (3) support for Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). We then propose an approach for mapping application threads on SMT multicore systems at run-time, to minimize energy consumption. The proposed approach interfaces with … Show more

“…While SMT-based multicore systems are emerging as the norm for achieving the computing power necessary [199,200], it is equally important to map these application to maximise energy efficiency [34,201]. With energy efficient computing emerging as an important paradigm, recent approaches adopted to using linear programming or heuristics to map threads-to-cores based on a quantifiable relative gain metric.…”
