Investigation of LSTM Based Prediction for Dynamic Energy Management in Chip Multiprocessors
In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of using long short-term memory (LSTM) instead of Kalman filtering to do prediction for the purpose of constructing dynamic energy management (DEM) algorithms in chip multi-processors (CMPs). Either of the two prediction methods is employed to estimate the workload in the next control period for each of the processor cores. These estimates are then used to select voltage-frequency (VF) pairs for each core of the CMP during the next control period as part of a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique. The objective of the DVFS technique is to reduce energy consumption under performance constraints that are set by the user. We conduct our investigation using a custom Sniper system simulation framework. Simulation results for 16 and 64 core network-on-chip based CMP architectures and using several benchmarks demonstrate that the LSTM is slightly better than Kalman filtering
Resource provisioning in Science Clouds: Requirements and challenges
Cloud computing has permeated into the information technology industry in the
last few years, and it is emerging nowadays in scientific environments. Science
user communities are demanding a broad range of computing power to satisfy the
needs of high-performance applications, such as local clusters,
high-performance computing systems, and computing grids. Different workloads
are needed from different computational models, and the cloud is already
considered as a promising paradigm. The scheduling and allocation of resources
is always a challenging matter in any form of computation and clouds are not an
exception. Science applications have unique features that differentiate their
workloads, hence, their requirements have to be taken into consideration to be
fulfilled when building a Science Cloud. This paper will discuss what are the
main scheduling and resource allocation challenges for any Infrastructure as a
Service provider supporting scientific applications
