  • Mapping Optimisation for Scalable multi-core ARchiTecture : The MOSART approach
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Proceedings - IEEE Annual Symposium on VLSI, ISVLSI 2010. - 9780769540764 ; , s. 518-523
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The project will address two main challenges of prevailing architectures: 1) The global Interconnect and memory bottleneck due to a single, globally shared memory with high access times and power consumption; 2) The difficulties in programming heterogeneous, multi-core platforms, in particular in dynamically managing data structures in distributed memory. MOSART aims to overcome these through a multi-core architecture with distributed memory organisation, a Network-on-Chip (NoC) communication backbone and configurable processing cores that are scaled, optimised and customised together to achieve diverse energy, performance, cost and size requirements of different classes of applications. MOSART achieves this by: A) Providing platform support for management of abstract data structures Including middleware services and a run-time data manager for NoC based communication infrastructure; 2) Developing tool support for parallelizing and mapping applications on the multi-core target platform and customizing the processing cores for the application.

  • Area and Performance Optimization of Barrier Synchronization on Multi-core Network-on-Chips
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: 3rd IEEE International Conference on Computer and Electrical Engineering (ICCEE).
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Barrier synchronization is commonly and widelyused to synchronize the execution of parallel processor coreson multi-core Network-on-Chips (NoCs). Since its globalnature may cause heavy serialization resulting in largeperformance penalty, barrier synchronization should becarefully designed to have low latency communication and tominimize overall completion time. Therefore, in the paper, wepropose a fast barrier synchronization mechanism, targetingMulti-core NoCs. The fast barrier synchronization mechanismincludes a dedicated hardware module, named Fast BarrierSynchronizer (FBS), integrated with each processor node. Itoffers a set of barrier counters and can concurrently processsynchronization requests issued by the local node and remotenodes via the on-chip network. The salient feature of our fastbarrier synchronization mechanism is that, once the barriercondition is reached, the “barrier release” acknowledgement isrouted to all processor nodes in a broadcast way in order tosave chip area by avoiding storing source node informationand to minimize completion time by avoiding serialization ofbarrier releasing. Synthesis results suggest that the FBS canrun over 1 GHz in SMIC® 130nm technology with small areaoverhead. We implemented a FBS-enhanced multi-core NoCarchitecture on our FPGA platform using the Xilinx® Virtex 5as the FPGA chip. FPGA utilization and simulation resultsshow that our fast barrier synchronization demonstrates botharea and performance advantages over the barriersynchronization counterpart with unicast barrier releasing.

  • Cooperative communication based barrier synchronization in on-chip mesh architectures
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: IEICE Electronics Express. - : Institute of Electronics, Information and Communications Engineers (IEICE). - 1349-2543. ; 8:22, s. 1856-1862
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We propose cooperative communication as a means to enable efficient and scalable barrier synchronization on mesh-based many-core architectures. Our approach is different from but orthogonal to conventional algorithm-based optimizations. It relies on collaborating routers to provide efficient gather and multicast communication. In conjunction with a master-slave algorithm, it exploits the mesh regularity to achieve efficiency. The gather and multicast functions have been implemented in our router. Synthesis results suggest marginal area overhead. With synthetic and benchmark experiments, we show that our approach significantly reduces synchronization completion time and increases speedup.

  • Cooperative communication for efficient and scalable all-to-all barrier synchronization on mesh-based many-core NoCs
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: IEICE Electronics Express. - : Institute of Electronics, Information and Communications Engineers (IEICE). - 1349-2543. ; 11:18, s. 20140542-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • On many-core Network-on-Chips (NoCs), communication is on the critical path of system performance and contended synchronization requests may cause large performance penalty. Different from conventional algorithm-based approaches, the paper addresses the barrier synchronization problem from the angle of optimizing its communication performance and proposes cooperative communication as a means to achieve efficient and scalable all-to-all barrier synchronization on mesh-based many-core NoCs. With the cooperative communication, routers collaborate with one another to accomplish a fast barrier synchronization task. The cooperative communication is implemented in our router at low cost. Through comparative experiments, our approach evidently exhibits high efficiency and good scalability.

  • Handling Shared Variable Synchronization in Multi-core Network-on-Chips with Distributed Memory
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Proceedings. - 9781424466832 ; , s. 467-472
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Parallelized shared variable applications running on multi-core Network-on-Chips(NoCs) require efficient support for synchronization, since communication is on the critical path of system performance and contended synchronization requests may cause large performance penalty. In this paper, we propose a dedicated hardware module forsynchronization management. This module is called Synchronization Handler (SH), integrated with each processor-memory node on the multi-core NoCs. It uses two physical buffers to concurrently process synchronization requests issued by the local processor and remote processors via the on-chip network. One salient feature is that the two physical buffers are dynamically allocated to form multiple virtual buffers (a virtual buffer is related to a shared synchronization variable) so as to improve the buffer utilization and alleviate the head-of-line blocking. Synthesis results suggest that the SH can run over 900 MHz in 130nm technology with small area overhead. To justify the SH-enhanced multicore NoCs, we employ synthetic workloads to evaluate synchronizationcost and buffer utilization, and run synchronization-intensive applications to investigate speedup. The results show that our approach is viable.

  • Hybrid distributed shared memory space in multi-core processors
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Journal of Software. - : International Academy Publishing (IAP). - 1796-217X. ; 6:12 SPEC. ISSUE, s. 2369-2378
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • On multi-core processors, memories are preferably distributed and supporting Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is essential for the sake of reusing huge amount of legacy code and easy programming. However, the DSM organization imports the inherent overhead of translating virtual memory addresses into physical memory addresses, resulting in negative performance. We observe that, in parallel applications, different data have different properties (private or shared). For the private data accesses, it's unnecessary to perform Virtual-to-Physical address translations. Even for the same datum, its property may be changeable in different phases of the program execution. Therefore, this paper focuses on decreasing the overhead of Virtualto- Physical address translation and hence improving the system performance by introducing hybrid DSM organization and supporting run-time partitioning according to the data property. The hybrid DSM organization aims at supporting fast and physical memory accesses for private data and maintaining a global and single virtual memory space for shared data. Based on the data property of parallel applications, the run-time partitioning supports changing the hybrid DSM organization during the program execution. It ensures fast physical memory addressing on private data and conventional virtual memory addressing on shared data, improving the performance of the entire system by reducing virtual-to-physical address translation overhead as much as possible. We formulate the run-time partitioning of hybrid DSM organization in order to analyze its performance. A real DSM based multi-core platform is also constructed. The experimental results of real applications show that the hybrid DSM organization with run-time partitioning demonstrates performance advantage over the conventional DSM counterpart. The percentage of performance improvement depends on problem size, way of data partitioning and computation/communication ratio of parallel applications, network size of the system, etc. In our experiments, the maximal improvement is 34.42%, the minimal improvement 3.68%.

  • Reducing Virtual-to-Physical address translation overhead in Distributed Shared Memory based multi-core Network-on-Chips according to data property
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Computers & electrical engineering. - : Elsevier BV. - 0045-7906 .- 1879-0755. ; 39:2, s. 596-612
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In Network-on-Chip (NoC) based multi-core platforms, Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) preferably uses virtual addressing in order to hide the physical locations of the memories. However, this incurs performance penalty due to the Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) address translation overhead for all memory accesses. Based on the data property which can be either private or shared, this paper proposes a hybrid DSM which partitions a local memory into a private and a shared part. The private part is accessed directly using physical addressing and the shared part using virtual addressing. In particular, the partitioning boundary can be configured statically at design time and dynamically at runtime. The dynamic configuration further removes the V2P address translation overhead for those data with changeable property when they become private at runtime. In the experiments with three applications (matrix multiplication, 2D FFT, and H.264/AVC encoding), compared with the conventional DSM, our techniques show performance improvement up to 37.89%.
