EXTRATo handle the stringent performance requirements of future exascale High Performance Computing (HPC) applications, HPC systems will need ultra-efficient heterogeneous compute nodes. Some of these nodes will be high performance CPU nodes but other nodes will have to be targeted to specific applications and maximally exploit low-level parallelism. At the same time, these specific hardware nodes will need to be flexible enough to adapt to different application requirements as it is infeasible to include specific nodes for all possible applications that run on the HPC system. Reconfigurability of these hardware nodes is therefore required and, for applications that significantly change their behaviour during their execution, run-time reconfiguration will be an important asset of such hardware nodes. In the EXTRA project, we create a new and flexible exploration platform for developing reconfigurable architectures and tools with run-time reconfiguration built-in from the start. The idea is to enable the joint optimization of architecture, tools, applications, and reconfiguration technology in order to prepare for the necessary HPC hardware nodes of the future. The main objective of the EXTRA project is therefore to develop an open source research platform for continued research on reconfiguration architectures and tools. The goal is to find architectures and tools that match the next-generation HPC application requirementse. We want to provide the European platform for run-time reconfiguration that will enable increased research efforts on run-time reconfiguration in Europe.SAVEThe SAVE project (Self-Adaptive Virtualisation-aware high-performance/low-Energy heterogeneous system architectures) aims at exploiting self-adaptivity and hardware-assisted virtualisation to allow the system to autonomously decide which specialised computing resources are exploited to achieve a more efficient execution based on user-defined optimisation goals, such as performance, energy, reliability. SAVE will define crosscutting SW/HW technologies for implementing self-adaptive systems exploiting GPUs and FPGA-based dataflow engines (DFEs) that enhance heterogeneous architectures to cope with the increased variety and dynamics of high-performance and embedded computing workloads. Virtualisation and self-adaptation are jointly exploited to obtain a new self-adaptive virtualisation-aware Heterogeneous System Architecture (saveHSA). This architecture exhibits a highly dynamic behaviour to achieve the requested performance while minimising energy consumption allocating tasks to the most appropriate computing resources. This objective is supported by two main technologies: i) novel runtime OS components to manage the HSA by migrating the computation from one resource to another, and ii) hardware-assisted virtualisation support for GPUs and DFEs.Official website: http://www.fp7-save.eu/ FASTERFASTER will facilitate the use of reconfigurable technology by providing a complete methodology that enables designers to easily implement and verify applications on platforms with general-purpose processors and acceleration modules implemented in the latest reconfigurable technology. We expect that the project will lead to a 20% productivity improvement due to seamless implementation and verification of dynamically changing systems, a 50% total ownership cost reduction for NIDS and Reverse Time Migration systems, with a 2x performance improvement under power constraints for Global Illumination and Image Analysis.Official website: http://www.fp7-faster.eu/ PDF proving the participation as WP2 leader |

Self-adaptable and autonomic systemsA self-adaptive and autonomic computing system is a system able to configure, heal, optimize and protect itself without the need for human intervention. Therefore, aim of this research is to develop performance models and prototypes of software and hardware components required to support the operating system and enable the same application to achieve its goals while working on different systems.Research && Educationhow to create a win-win game where research and the students experience are positively influenced one other.Methodologies for dynamic reconfiguration in embedded systemAim of this research is the definition of methodologies and tools for implementing dynamic reconfigurable systems, through the exploration of the solution space, in order to evaluate the most effective solutions that are compatible with the design constraints.Operating System support for reconfigurable computingDevelop an operating system, for FPGA-based architecture, able to determine where a module should be configured, and to provide an interface towards the final user in order to request a hardware application in a simplified way. The operating system has to be able to manage on-demand module configuration on an FPGA while providing a set of high-level abstractions to user applications.Methodologies for hardware/software co-design of embedded systemsAim of this research work is the development of a methodology and a set of tools for capturing specifications of control-dominated systems, design space exploration, hardware/software partitioning, co-synthesis and co-simulation. |
