Power consumption and high compute density are the key factors to be considered when building a compute node for the upcoming Exascale revolution. Current architectural design and manufacturing technologies are not able to provide the requested level of density and power efficiency to realise an operational Exascale machine. A disruptive change in the hardware design and integration process is needed...
Due to increasing demand of low power computing, and diminishing returns from technology scaling, industry and academia are turning with renewed interest toward energy-efficient programmable accelerators. This paper proposes an Integrated Programmable-Array accelerator (IPA) architecture based on an innovative execution model, targeted to accelerate both data and control-flow parts of deeply embedded...
Exascale computing represents the next leap in the HPC race. Reaching this level of performance is subject to several engineering challenges such as energy consumption, equipment-cooling, reliability and massive parallelism. Model-based optimization is an essential tool in the design process and control of energy efficient, reliable and thermally constrained systems. However, in the Exascale domain,...
Dynamic thermal management (DTM) is a key technology for future many-core systems. Indeed systems, as both server-class and embedded chip multiprocessors are thermally constrained. DTM design requires consideration for the chain of interactions between HW operating points, workload phases, power consumption, die temperature, HW monitor infrastructure, control policy. Hugely different time scales are...
Data reduction strategy is one of the schemes employed to extend network lifetime. In this paper we present an implementation of a light-weight forecasting algorithm for sensed data which saves packet transmission in the network. The proposed Naive algorithm achieves high energy savings with a limited computational overhead on a node. Simulation results from realistic Building monitoring application...

Modern embedded MPSoC designs increasingly couple hardware accelerators to processing cores to trade between energy efficiency and platform specialization. To assist effective design of such systems there is the need on one hand for clear methodologies to streamline accelerator definition and instantiation, on the other for architectural templates and run-time techniques that minimize processors-to-accelerator...
Simulators are still the primary tools for development and performance evaluation of applications running on massively parallel architectures. However, current virtual platforms are not able to tackle the complexity issues introduced by 1000-core future scenarios. We present a fast and accurate simulation framework targeting extremely large parallel systems by specifically taking advantage of the...
