项目摘要

Multicore technology is entering the mobile phone domain, and it is termed mobile multicore computing (MMC) in this project. With MMC, the current mobile phones are no longer the traditional mobile phones with only voice and/or video phone functionalities. More features, such as multimedia streaming and mobile P2P applications, are integrated into these small devices. The grand challenge in MMC mobile phones is making a good tradeoff between performance and power. Different from existing hardware-oriented approaches, such as clock gating and power gating for high performance and low power design, this research proposes software-oriented approaches such as power-aware parallelization of mobile applications and power-aware task scheduling to meet this challenge.In this 2-year EAGER project, the PI is seeking answers to this foundational performance/power tradeoff problem. The prposal sets forth four ambitious objectives to do so: 1) To build a performance and power tradeoff model for mobile multicore platforms considering user requirements; 2) To parallelize mobile applications for mobile multicore platforms with memory, timing, and power constraints; 3) To schedule multitasks for multicore platforms with memory, timing, and power constraints; and 4) To develop a prototype mobile system based on mobile multicore computing platforms with high performance and low power consumption. It is expected that the insights and results drawn from this project will benefit researchers, practitioners, users, and students on a large scale.

多功能技术正在输入手机域，并且在此项目中称为移动多核算计算（MMC）。使用MMC，当前的手机不再是传统的手机，只有语音和/或视频电话功能。更多功能（例如多媒体流和移动P2P应用程序）都集成到这些小型设备中。 MMC手机的巨大挑战是在性能和力量之间取决于良好的权衡。与现有面向硬件的方法（例如，高性能和低功率设计的时钟门控和电源门控）不同，该研究提出了面向软件的方法，例如移动应用程序的强力并行处理以及能够应对的挑战，以应对这一挑战。 PRPOSAS阐明了四个雄心勃勃的目标：1）考虑用户要求，为移动多机构平台建立性能和功率权衡模型； 2）与具有内存，时机和功率约束的移动多核心平台并行化移动应用程序； 3）安排具有内存，时机和功率约束的多层平台的多任务； 4）基于具有高性能和低功耗的移动多层计算平台开发原型移动系统。预计该项目的见解和结果将使研究人员，从业人员，用户和学生大规模受益。
