II-EN: Fast Thermal-Aware Sampling for Multiprocessors

本提案的目标是调整计算机体系结构仿真基础设施，以模拟未来多核系统的功率和热问题。在考虑功率和热估计的情况下，本提案主要关注的是仿真速度。为了加快仿真时间，工程师采用了采样。问题是添加现代多核和热模拟打破了现有的采样技术。研究界需要性能、功率和热模拟结果至少比现有的快一个数量级。本建议为建立这一系统提供了支持。仿真基础设施将对计算机体系结构界产生重大影响。我们预计第三方出版物的数量会增加。我们也期望这个模拟器能对班级项目产生更大的、多所大学的班级课程影响。结合之前的两个影响，我们预计会有更大比例的研究生和本科生学习和研究未来的多核、移动系统和云，重点关注功率和热问题。

The objective of this proposal is to adapt computer architecture simulation infrastructure to model power and thermal issues for future multicore systems. The main concern addressed by this proposal is simulation speed when power and thermal estimations are also considered. To accelerate simulation times, engineers employ sampling. The problem is that adding modern multicores and thermal simulation breaks existing sampling techniques. The research community needs performance, power, and thermal simulation results at least one order of magnitude faster than currently available. This proposal provides support to build such system.The simulation infrastructure will have a significant impact on the computer architecture community. We expect an increase in the number of publications by third parties. We also expect a larger, multi-university, class curriculum impact due to make this simulator available to class projects. Combining the two previous impacts, we expect a larger proportion of the graduate and undergraduate students to learn and research about future multicores, mobile systems, and clouds with a focus on power and thermal issues.
