  • Publication number: 20210049465
    Abstract: A self-optimizing and self-programming computing system (SOSPCS) design framework that achieves both programmability and flexibility and exploits computing heterogeneity [e.g., CPUs, GPUs, and hardware accelerators (HWAs)] is provided. First, at compile time, a task pool consisting of hybrid tasks with different processing element (PE) affinities according to target applications is formed. Tasks preferred to be executed on GPUs or accelerators are detected from target applications by neural networks. Tasks suitable to run on CPUs are formed by community detection to minimize data movement overhead. Next, a distributed reinforcement learning-based approach is used at runtime to allow agents to map the tasks onto the network-on-chip-based heterogeneous PEs by learning an optimal policy based on Q values in the environment.

The lower and upper conductive tubes form a dipole radiator centered on the first feed point. The upper conductive tubes form a dipole radiator centered on the second feed point. One or more isolation circuits resonate in only one frequency band for signals transmitted along one of the transmission lines.
