Sommario:

Multiprocessor Systems on Chips (MPSoCs) represent the future of embedded platforms. Their use in increasingly more widespread in many embedded applications ranging from multimedia to biological processing. Due to the increasing complexity of these processing platforms, there is a large quantity and variety of resources that the software running on top of them has to manage. This may become a critical issue for embedded application developers, because resource allocation may strongly affect performance, energy efficiency and reliability.

For instance, since multimedia applications consist often of several tasks, their mapping into processing elements has to be performed in an efficient way to exploit the available computational power and to reduce energy consumption of the platform.

In this seminar I will describe an OS/middleware software infrastructure implementing a resource management strategy that reduces energy consumption and improves system's reliability through task migration and run-time processor voltage/frequency allocation.
