What is Proceedings of the eighth IEEE/ACM/IFIP international conference on Hardware/software codesign and system synthesis - CODES/ISSS '10 - A case for lifetime-aware task mapping in embedded chip multiprocessors about?

Temperature-aware design is emerging as a popular approach to addressing a variety of challenges, including system lifetime. In the case of task mapping, temperature-aware approaches indeed improve lifetime due to lifetime's strong dependence on temperature. However, temperature-aware design neglects several important factors that also influence lifetime: (a) physical parameters such as supply voltage and current density, as well as (b) application and architecture characteristics that affect what failures are survivable. Only lifetime-aware task mapping can expose the relationship between physical parameters, component failure, and system lifetime, and therefore find lifetime-optimal mappings.To address this need, we have developed a new lifetime-aware task mapping technique based on ant colony optimization (ACO). Our technique produces task mappings resulting in lifetimes within 17.9% of the observed optimal results on average, outperforming a lifetime-agnostic task mapping approach by an average of 32.3%. We also observed that the lifetimes resulting from task mappings within 1% of the best maximum system temperature vary by an average of 20.1% while the lifetimes resulting from
