Sammanfattning

Runtime estimation of power dissipation and performance is crucial in every computing platform. In mobile systems,a special focus is set on energy efficiency in order to achievethe longest possible battery life and at the same time adheringto performance requirements. Powered by heterogeneous SoC’s,mobile systems are called to reach an energy efficient state ofexecution, with a runtime system or scheduler that requiresknowledge on the current performance and power dissipation.Today, highly heterogeneous architectures provide many actuators to reach better efficiency, the effect of which is usuallyunknown at runtime. In this paper, we propose a fast approach tobuild an energy efficiency model based on hardware performancecounters. Our approach obviates the need for power sensorspresent at the chip level and deals with high numbers of executionmodes. In building the energy efficiency model we account forthe change in temperature which, as we show, has an impacton the optimal energy efficiency choice. The proposed approachreduces significantly the time to characterize the energy efficiencyof a Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) and includes theenvironment temperature as a variable in determining the energyefficiency
