User Interaction Aware Reinforcement Learning for Power and Thermal Efficiency of CPU-GPU Mobile MPSoCs
Mobile user’s usage behaviour changes throughout the day and the desirable Quality of Service (QoS) could thus change for each session. In this paper, we propose a QoS aware agent to monitor mobile user’s usage behaviour to find the target frame rate, which satisfies the desired user’s QoS, and applies reinforcement learning based DVFS on a CPU-GPU MPSoC to satisfy the frame rate requirement. Experimental study on a real Exynos hardware platform shows that our proposed agent is able to achieve a maximum of 50% power saving and 29% reduction in peak temperature compared to stock Android’s power saving scheme. It also outperforms the existing state-of-the-art power and thermal management scheme by 41% and 19%, respectively
