ABSTRACT:

As mobile battery-powered devices become ubiquitous, users and developers alike expect such devices to support a variety of demanding applications. In response, heterogeneous multicore processors have increasingly been deployed in order to provide a tradeoff between performance and power for workloads whose demands may vary over time. To effectively exploit these power-performance tradeoffs dynamically, we need to deploy intelligent runtime resource managers. Closed-loop resource managers are traditionally reactive as opposed to reflective, which is not always sufficient. In parallel, a number of disjoint research disciplines have been investigating computing systems that are inspired by self-awareness in humans. I will describe how I apply the high-level principles of computational self-awareness to design and deploy closed-loop resource managers for energy-efficient QoS management in mobile devices.

BIO: Bryan is a researcher in the IoT and Cyber-physical Systems group at Ericsson in Stockholm, and is joining the SDSU Computer Science faculty in 2021. His research focuses on runtime management of resource constrained systems. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Irvine in 2019. He has previously worked as a software engineer at Sun Microsystems and Google, and spent time as a visiting researcher at TU Munich.
