Abstract

This work presents a cross-layer design of an adaptive manycore architecture to address the computational needs of emerging big data applications within the technological constraints of power and reliability. From the circuits end, we present links with reconfigurable repeaters that allow single-cycle traversals across multiple hops, creating fast single-cycle paths on demand. At the microarchitecture end, we present a router with bi-directional links, unified virtual channel (VC) structure, and the ability to perform self-monitoring and self-configuration around faults. We present our vision for self-aware manycore architectures and argue that machine learning techniques are very appropriate to efficiently control various configurable on-chip resources in order to realize this vision. We provide concrete learning algorithms for core and NoC reconfiguration; and dynamic power management to improve the performance, energyefficiency, and reliability over static designs to meet the demands of big data computing. We also discuss future challenges to push the state-of-the-art on fully adaptive manycore architectures.
