THERMAC
Thermal-aware Resource Management for Modern Computing Platforms in the Next Generation of Aircraft
| 30 months (Apr 2019 to Sep 2021) | |
| Summary: | The main goal of the THERMAC project for the next generation of small aircraft transportation (SAT) systems is twofold: (i) to reduce the operational temperature and; (ii) to increase the guaranteed performance of the targeted computing platform, by means of software-based resource management. Specifically, the project aims at: (1) increasing the guaranteed performance by 30% for an equivalent thermal profile; (2) reducing the operational temperature by 20% for an equivalent guaranteed performance. By improved performance, we mean that THERMAC’s results will allow to integrate more complex or a larger number of functionalities in the same computing platform without increasing the operational temperature of the system while instead ensuring a more thermal efficient usage of the hardware resources at disposal. All those functionalities will be guaranteed to respect their functional (e.g., synchronization, actuation, access to shared resources and I/Os, etc.) and nonfunctional requirements (e.g., independence of interference, timing constraints). In addition to these two already ambitious goals, the THERMAC project will develop, for a given application and traces of the temperature of the platform operations, a temperature sensing and monitoring framework in order to feed models that are capable of predicting the life-time of critical hardware components. |
