DodOrg Motivation

Classic Scenario:

Only those scenarios can be handled That were considered in advance, Where the cause can be detected, Where the corresponding reaction had been explicitly programmed. Lack of adaptation leads to insufficient reactions (e.g. shutdown …)

DodOrg Scenario:

System reaction based on indications (higher level of abstraction) E.g. CRC/bit error rate, network bottleneck, environmental change or change on application level Proper reaction possible even if Scenario was not considered in advance Cause was not detected Reaction was not explicitly programmed Flexible response to changed environmental situation Scenario detection: recognize that something is different Adapt to changed requirements either by known path or gradual process of rearrangement (optimization, healing)

Organic Monitoring: State Evaluation (Prof. Karl)

Using a rule-based approach

Learning evaluation rules in a dedicated training phase Defining a normal system state Comparison of further system states with the normal state

Properties

Rules convert an occurrence ratio of an event into a fitness value One rule per event / hormone Weighted arithmetic mean for determ- ining the fitness value for the system Different states then can be compared by comparing the fitness values

Energy distribution: main concept

Each OPC has a local energy budget Determines the local available energy Global power source Assigns energy budgets to OPCs (pulse-based) Energy budget manager Agent controlling local energy budget Receives temperature data each pulse Negotiates & trades energy budget with neighboring OPCs Influences power manager policies

Organic Low Power Management: Agent Negotiation (Prof. Henkel)

Two types of agent negotiation based on simple economic principles Fully distributed [ICCAD 09]

Trading based on supply & demand Temperature incorporated as a negotiation penalty Agents only trade with their direct neighbors

Hierarchical [CODES 11]

Local agents make bids to higher level market agents Market agents make requests to global power source Local agent has income based on current temperature

Local Agents Global power souce Market Agents Local Agents

Thermal state of core classified as good, neutral, or bad Special case of monitoring state evaluation State determines current core power budget, i.e. local agent income dependent on state Budget trading resulting in state transitions to a “better” state are reinforced  Shift of S1 & S2 to higher temperatures Trading resulting in “worse” state are penalized  Shift of S1 & S2 to lower temperatures In good state, no suppressors are released to the AHS allowing other

  • ptimizations (e.g. comm-

unication/performance) When approaching threshold in bad state, thermal supp- ressors become dominant
