TANGO: Transparent heterogeneous hardware Architecture deployment for eNergy Gain in Operation
This addresses energy efficiency for software developers working with HPAs, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing concepts without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of optimizing power consumption on Heterogeneous Parallel Architectures (HPAs) by proposing a reference architecture to support energy efficiency in application construction, deployment, and operation, with implementation and evaluation plans outlined.
The paper is concerned with the issue of how software systems actually use Heterogeneous Parallel Architectures (HPAs), with the goal of optimizing power consumption on these resources. It argues the need for novel methods and tools to support software developers aiming to optimise power consumption resulting from designing, developing, deploying and running software on HPAs, while maintaining other quality aspects of software to adequate and agreed levels. To do so, a reference architecture to support energy efficiency at application construction, deployment, and operation is discussed, as well as its implementation and evaluation plans.
