IEEE Int. Conf. on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS) TI - Lonestar: An Energy-Aware Disk Based Long-Term Archival Storage System ER - TY - CONF AB - In the next decades, hybrid multi-cores will be the predominant architecture for reconfigurable FPGA-based systems. Temperature-aware thread mapping strategies are key for providing dependability in such systems. These strategies rely on measuring the temperature distribution and redicting the thermal behavior of the system when there are changes to the hardware and software running on the FPGA. While there are a number of tools that use thermal models to predict temperature distributions at design time, these tools lack the flexibility to autonomously adjust to changing FPGA configurations. To address this problem we propose a temperature-aware system that empowers FPGA-based reconfigurable multi-cores to autonomously predict the on-chip temperature distribution for pro-active thread remapping. Our system obtains temperature measurements through a self-calibrating grid of sensors and uses area constrained heat-generating circuits in order to generate spatial and temporal temperature gradients. The generated temperature variations are then used to learn the free parameters of the system's thermal model. The system thus acquires an understanding of its own thermal characteristics. We implemented an FPGA system containing a net of 144 temperature sensors on a Xilinx Virtex-6 LX240T FPGA that is aware of its thermal model. Finally, we show that the temperature predictions vary less than 0.72 degree C on average compared to the measured temperature distributions at run-time.

Virtualization enables the consolidation of virtual machines as well as the migration of them to other hosts during runtime. Each provider has its own strategy to efficiently operate a data center. We present a rule based mapping algorithm for VMs, which is able to automatically adapt the mapping between VMs and physical hosts. It offers an interface where policies can be defined and combined in a generic way. The algorithm performs the initial mapping at request time as well as a remapping during runtime. It deals with policy and infrastructure changes. We extended the open source IaaS solution Eucalyptus and we evaluated it with typical policies: maximizing the compute performance and VM locality to achieve a high performance and minimizing energy consumption. The evaluation was done on state-of-the-art servers in our own data center and by simulations using a workload of the Parallel Workload Archive. The results show that our algorithm performs well in dynamic data centers environments.

Cracow Grid Workshop (CGW) TI - Connecting Communities on the Meta-Scheduling Level: The DGSI Approach! ER - TY - CONF AB - In this work we present EvoCache, a novel approach for implementing application-specific caches. The key innovation of EvoCache is to make the function that maps memory addresses from the CPU address space to cache indices programmable. We support arbitrary Boolean mapping functions that are implemented within a small reconfigurable logic fabric. For finding suitable cache mapping functions we rely on techniques from the evolvable hardware domain and utilize an evolutionary optimization procedure. We evaluate the use of EvoCache in an embedded processor for two specific applications (JPEG and BZIP2 compression) with respect to execution time, cache miss rate and energy consumption. We show that the evolvable hardware approach for optimizing the cache functions not only significantly improves the cache performance for the training data used during optimization, but that the evolved mapping functions generalize very well. Compared to a conventional cache architecture, EvoCache applied to test data achieves a reduction in execution time of up to 14.31% for JPEG (10.98% for BZIP2), and in energy consumption by 16.43% for JPEG (10.70% for BZIP2). We also discuss the integration of EvoCache into the operating system and show that the area and delay overheads introduced by EvoCache are acceptable.

We present IMORC, an architectural template and highly versatile on-chip interconnect. IMORC links provide asynchronous FIFOs and bitwidth conversion which allows for flexibly composing accelerators from cores running at full speed within their own clock domains, thus facilitating the re-use of cores and portability. Further, IMORC inserts performance counters for monitoring runtime data. In this paper, we first introduce the IMORC architectural template and the on-chip interconnect, and then demonstrate IMORC on the example of accelerating the k-th nearest neighbor thinning problem on an XD1000 reconfigurable computing system. Using IMORC's monitoring infrastructure, we gain insights into the data-dependent behavior of the application which, in turn, allow for optimizing the accelerator.

The architecture is based on the Xilinx Virtex-4 FX FPGA and leverages the Auxiliary Processing Unit (APU) as well as the partial reconfiguration capabilities to provide dynamically reconfigurable custom instructions. We also present a hardware tool flow that automatically translates software functions into custom instructions and a software tool flow that creates binaries using these instructions. While previous research on processors with reconfigurable functional units has been performed predominantly with simulation, the Woolcano architecture allows for exploring dynamic instruction set extension with commercially available hardware. Finally, we present a case study demonstrating a custom floating-point instruction generated with our approach, which achieves a 40x speedup over software-emulated floating-point operations and a 21% speedup over the Xilinx hardware floating-point unit.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are powerful instruments for describing such contracts. SLA-aware resource management is the foundation for realizing SLA contracts within the Grid. OpenCCS is such an SLA-aware RMS, using transparent checkpointing to cope with resource outages. It generates a compatibility profile for each checkpoint dataset, so that the job can be resumed even on resources within the Grid. However, only a small number of Grid resources comply to such a profile. This paper describes the concept of virtual execution environments and how they increase the number of potential migration targets.The paper also describes how these virtual execution environments have been implemented within the OpenCCS resource management system.

An SLA-aware resource management system has already been realize, able to fulfill the SLA of jobs even in the case of resource failures. For this, it is able to migrate checkpointed jobs over the Grid. At this, virtual execution environments allow to increase the number of potential migration targets significantly.

Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets) TI - Increasing the Reliability of Wireless Sensor Networks with a Distributed Testing Framework ER - TY - CONF AB - Service level agreements (SLAs) are powerful instruments for describing all obligations and expectations in a business relationship. It is of focal importance for deploying Grid technology to commercial applications. The EC-funded project HPC4U (Highly Predictable Clusters for Internet Grids) aimed at introducing SLA-awareness in local resource management systems, while the EC-funded project AssessGrid introduced the notion of risk, which is associated with every business contract. This paper highlights the concept of planning based resource management and describes the SLA-aware scheduler developed and used in these projects.

WS-Agreement Workshop (Open Grid Forum 18) TI - Using WS-Agreement for Risk Management in the Grid ER - TY - CONF AB - The next generation grid applications demand grid middleware for a flexible negotiation mechanism supporting various ways of quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. In this context, a QoS guarantee covers simultaneous allocations of various kinds of different resources, such as processor runtime, storage capacity, or network bandwidth, which are specified in the form of service level agreements (SLA). Currently, a gap exists between the capabilities of grid middleware and the underlying resource management systems concerning their support for QoS and SLA negotiation. In this paper we present an approach which closes this gap. Introducing the architecture of the virtual resource manager, we highlight its main QoS management features like run-time responsibility, co-allocation, and fault tolerance.
