Depending on the topologies of these memory networks we find everything from true data sharing with shared caches to distributed memory architectures which just pretend to be physical shared memory systems. In fact, most many-cores are hybrid systems that exhibit the characteristics of both distributed systems and SMPs. In this paper we argue in favor of middleware platforms for many-cores. We will discuss the needed functionality in contrast to common distributed system middleware and present micro benchmarks on several architectures to substantiate our claims.

This makes it possible to exploit the benefits of distributed as well as shared memory programming models within single parallel algorithms. While large amounts of data can be shared in the memory and caches, coordinating the activities of hundreds of cores relies on cross core communication mechanisms with ultra low latency for very small messages. In this paper we discuss two communication protocols for the Intel SCC and compare them to the MPI implementation of the SCC. Our micro-benchmark results underline that special purpose protocols for small messages make much finer levels of parallelism possible than general purpose message passing systems.

This represents a serious problem for many routing protocols, which often depend on bidirectional links. Routing protocols that can use unidirectional links often induce a high overhead. To overcome this problem we introduced Unidirectional Link Triangle Routing, a routing protocol, which uses neighborhood information, gathered actively or passively, to route around unidirectional links. In this paper, we describe Unidirectional Link Triangle Routing in further detail and present additional evaluation results from different application scenarios.

Still, many people argue that the gain in connectivity is not worth the effort of making them usable for routing protocols. In this paper, we follow the opposite approach and introduce Unidirectional Link Triangle Routing, which reduces the overhead and, therefore, makes unidirectional links usable on the routing layer.

We introduce a programming model for swarms of mobile robots. Swarm applications consist of concurrent, distributed and context-aware actions. We provide distributed transactions in order to guarantee atomic execution of a set of dependent actions. We distinguish between schedulability and executability of a set of actions. In order to guarantee exe- cutability of a distributed transaction of spatial-temporal actions, we present the concept of path alternatives and a time-based two- phase commit protocol in order to assure consistency. We show the feasibility of our approach by a proof-of-concept.

However, fulfilling that demand is a task which cannot simply be solved by upscaling existing technologies. While most of the research tackles the challenges regarding the transmission technology from the physical layer up to base-band processing, we focus on the challenges concerning the handling of that vast amount of data. The overall goal is to bring together the transmission technology with the operating system to create a suitable end-to-end communication solution. In this paper we argue that communication can be understood as a soft-realtime problem and how that helps introducing parallelism into protocol-processing.

This non-volatile memory (NVRAM) may start a software revolution. Traditionally, software was developed for two levels of storage and NVRAM reduces the hierarchy to a single-level store. Current research projects are already exploring the potential of NVRAM, but they face a challenge when they want to evaluate the performance: The new hardware is not yet available. In this paper, we discuss why benchmark results which are gained on existing DRAM are insufficient for a prediction of the performance on NVRAM. Either existing instructions have to be changed or new ones have to be introduced. We further show that the bochs emulator can be used to build systems which resemble NVRAM, to predict the NVRAM's consequences, and it even allows a comparison of algorithms for NVRAM.

Although explicit shared- memory programming and message passing might provide the best performance, they also limit the system’s control over scheduling. In contrast, interrupt-driven cross-core invocations provide universal coordination mechanisms that also enable preemptive operations across cores. This paper surveys cross- core invocation mechanisms and their usability with respect to prevalent coordination scenarios. We integrated some of these mechanisms into a bare-metal environment for the Intel SCC pro- cessor and will discuss implementation aspects of the interrupt- driven invocations. In conclusion, such invocation mechanisms provide an expressive platform for future operating systems kernels and bare-metal applications.

Variations within the hardware or induced by the software complicate the prediction of the energy consumption. Additionally, batteries are vulnerable to temperature and non-linear effects. To reach certain lifetime goals under these influences without sacrificing energy due to pessimistic estimations, online energy management is necessary. In this paper, we present policies to control the behavior of applications and devices using energy budgets. First experiments yield promising results, with nodes reaching their lifetime goals while maintaining a high application quality.

Nonlinear battery effects and nonuniform workload distribution can lead to early node failures. This makes it necessary to manage energy consumption. But to manage energy it is essential to know how much energy is spent by the system. Additionally, for a more fine-grained management it is necessary, to know where the energy is spent. This can be a complicated task, since nodes are not identical due to device variations and the consumption can change over time. In this paper we present an online energy accounting approach which focuses on simplicity instead on fine granularity and timing accuracy. We argue that the efficacy of an energy accounting model depends more on the input consumption data than on exact timing, especially when the real consumption varies between nodes and in time. Results show that this approach is capable of correctly accounting the energy that nodes spend in scenarios with deviating environment conditions.

September 2014 an der Universität Potsdam N2 - Embedded systems, e.g. nodes within sensor networks, often have tight bound goals for lifetime while running from a not renewable energy source. Mostly batteries are used, which are vulnerable to temperature and non-linear effects. Additionally, variations within the hardware or induced by the software make the prediction of the available and consumed energy a complicated task. To reach certain lifetime goals under these influences, online energy management is necessary. For a fine-grained management on the level of individual sub-tasks, it is necessary to know where in the system the energy is consumed. In this work, we extend our online energy accounting approach to enable online energy management. We present ways to control application and device behavior, and, thus, energy using energy budgets. First experiments yield promising results, reaching their lifetime goals while maintaining a high application quality.

Variations within the hardware or induced by the software complicate the prediction of the energy consumption. Additionally, batteries are vulnerable to temperature and non-linear effects. To reach certain lifetime goals under these influences without sacrificing energy due to pessimistic estimations, online energy management is necessary. At Sensorcomm 2015 we presented policies to control the behavior of applications and devices using energy budgets. This paper is an extended version which adds further details and the evaluation of the proposed dynamic energy management in a real-world scenario.
