To enable such a management system, a software framework for application-guided power-aware control systems was developed. This system allows an application to guide the underlying computing hardware through a reusable and modular software abstraction. The abstraction layer enables an application to avoid hardware-specific details while still requesting resources from the computing hardware using a generic quality-of-service (QoS) interface. The computing system, in turn, monitors its power and performance state and notifies the application to adjust its computational load by changing its algorithms. This two-way communication between application and computing platform allows both application and system designers to create proactive strategies for managing power and performance states. The work as a whole describes mechanisms for system state estimation, prediction and management; introduces speculative threads for transient management in switched systems; and develops in detail two methods for power and performance management: a situational-aware governor and a Q-Learner-based quality-of-service manager.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Software Framework for Application-guided Power-aware Control Systems "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2019-01-03 21:45:41","changed_gmt":"2019-01-03 21:45:41","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-01-09T09:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-01-09T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-01-09T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-01-09 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-01-09 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-01-09 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
