Runtime management for many core embedded systems: the PRiME approach

PRiME (Power-efficient, Reliable, Manycore Embedded Systems, http://www.prime-project.org) is a national research programme funded by UK EPSRC, which started in 2013. My talk will outline the key scientific challenges in energy efficiency and hardware reliability of many-core embedded systems which PRiME has addressed / is still addressing. I will describe the main theoretical and experimental advances achieved to date. This includes presentation of learning-based runtime algorithms and OpenCL based cross-layer framework for energy optimization.
