System and method for optimal load and source scheduling in context aware homes

Title: System and method for optimal load and source scheduling in context aware homes

Abstract

A controller for controlling energy consumption in a home includes a constraints engine to define variables for multiple appliances in the home corresponding to various home modes and persona of an occupant of the home. A modeling engine models multiple paths of energy utilization of the multiple appliances to place the home into a desired state from a current context. An optimal scheduler receives the multiple paths of energy utilization and generates a schedule as a function of the multiple paths and a selected persona to place the home in a desired state.

Schedulers with load-store queue awareness

Patent Chen, Tong; Eichenberger, Alexandre E.; Jacob, Arpith C.; ...

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes tracking a size of a load-store queue (LSQ) during compile time of a program. The size of the LSQ is time-varying and indicates how many memory access instructions of the program are on the LSQ. The method further includes scheduling, by a computer processor, a plurality of memory access instructions of the program based on the size of the LSQ.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing temperature-aware task scheduling and proactive power management. A SoC includes a plurality of processing units and a task queue storing pending tasks. The SoC calculates a thermal metric for each pending task to predict an amount of heat the pending task will generate. The SoC also determines a thermal gradient for each processing unit to predict a rate at which the processing unit's temperature will change when executing a task. The SoC also monitors a thermal margin of how far each processing unit is from reaching its thermal limit. The SoC minimizes non-uniform heatmore »« less

In a parallel computing environment comprising a network of SMP nodes each having at least one processor, a parallel-aware co-scheduling method and system for improving the performance and scalability of a dedicated parallel job having synchronizing collective operations. The method and system uses a global co-scheduler and an operating system kernel dispatcher adapted to coordinate interfering system and daemon activities on a node and across nodes to promote intra-node and inter-node overlap of said interfering system and daemon activities as well as intra-node and inter-node overlap of said synchronizing collective operations. In this manner, the impact of random short-lived interruptions,more »« less
