Energy Efficient Scheduling for Mobile Asymmetric Multicore Processors

Group: Programming Languages at University of Glasgow (PLUG)
Speaker: Chris Brown, University of St Andrews
Date: 08 May, 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:00
Location: Sir Alwyn Williams Building, 422 Seminar Room

Chris Brown from St Andrews will be giving a joint PLUG-LOCOS talk.

Title:  Energy Efficient Scheduling for Mobile Asymmetric Multicore Processors

Abstract:

We present a novel technique for the dynamic scheduling of application workloads on mobile asymmetric multicore processors, significantly improving the energy

efficiency of mobile (e.g. Android) devices while retaining comparable Quality of Service. Our technique is based on dynamic assignment of optimal frequencies to

processing cores, as well as switching cores on and off as a response to changing the system load. We evaluate our technique on a set of representative realistic

workloads, simulating typical user activity on mobile phones, and demonstrate a reduction in energy consumption while retaining comparable Quality of Service.

Title: Programming Language Concepts for (Climate) Science

Abstract:

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Assessing its risks and our progress towards mitigating its worst effects requires a wealth of data that we process to make decisions that affect the lives of billions worldwide, both now and in the future. However, in the last decade, climate modelling has faced diminishing returns from current hardware trends and software techniques. Developing the required models and analysis tools to effectively process, explore, archive, and derive policy decisions, with a high degree of transparency and trust, remains difficult. In this talk I'll outline some of the challenges in this space, informed by the work of the Institute of Computing for Climate Science and the climate modelling projects we are involve in. I will put forward various ideas, together forming a (tentative) vision of what a future programming language for climate science could look like.

Speaker:

Dominic is a computer scientist with a broad range of interests and expertise. His research is mainly in the programming languages and verification with applications to supporting climate modelling. Much of his work crosses between theory and applications, often intersecting semantics, types, and logic, but also with tool implementations and novel language ideas.

He is a co-director of the Institute of Computing for Climate Science which seeks to support the role of computer science, software engineering, machine learning, and data science in climate modelling. He also works part-time at the University of Kent as a researcher in the Programming Languages and Systems group. He is a fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute and a Bye-Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge.

He is known as one of the originators of the concept of coeffects in programming language semantics and analysis, the concept of graded modal types, and the inventor of the Granule programming language, and the lead of the CamFort project for static analysis of numerical Fortran code.
