摘要:

非对称处理器已经成为一种非常有吸引力的技术,适用于严重的能源约束环境,特别是在应用程序异构性成为主流的移动市场。此外,考虑到对用于高性能计算的超低功率架构的兴趣日益增长,这种类型的平台也正在朝着实现节能的高性能科学应用的方向进行研究。在本文中,我们提出了一个完整的实施的BLAS接口适应于非对称的ARM大。小处理器,分析性能和能源效率之间的权衡时,现有的同质(对称)多线程BLAS实现的第一步。我们的实验结果揭示了重要的性能增益,同时保持均匀的解决方案的能源效率,有效地利用所有的非对称处理器的资源。

英文摘要:

Asymmetric processors have emerged as an appealing technology for severely energy-constrained environments, especially in the mobile market where heterogeneity in applications is mainstream. In addition, given the growing interest on ultra low-power architectures for high performance computing, this type of platforms are also being investigated in the road towards the implementation of energy- efficient high-performance scientific applications. In this paper, we propose a first step towards a complete implementation of the BLAS interface adapted to asymmetric ARM big.LITTLE processors, analyzing the trade-offs between performance and energy efficiency when compared to existing homogeneous (symmetric) multi-threaded BLAS implementations. Our experimental results reveal important gains in performance while maintaining the energy efficiency of homogeneous solutions by efficiently exploiting all the resources of the asymmetric processor.
