Thread Mapping

NUMA multi-core systems divide system resources into several nodes. When an imbalance in the load between cores occurs, the kernel scheduler’s load balancing mechanism then migrates threads between cores or across NUMA nodes. Remote memory access is required for a thread to access memory on the previous node, which degrades performance. Threads to be migrated must be selected effectively and efficiently since the related operations run in the critical path of the kernel scheduler. This study focuses on improving inter-node load balancing for multithreaded applications. We propose a thread-aware selection policy that considers the distribution of threads on nodes for each thread group while migrating one thread for inter-node load balancing. The thread is selected for which its thread group has the least exclusive thread distribution, and thread members are distributed more evenly on nodes. This has less influence on data mapping and thread mapping for the thread group. We further devise several enhancements to eliminate superfluous evaluations for multithreaded processes, so the selection procedure is more efficient. The experimental results for the commonly used PARSEC 3.0 benchmark suite show that the modified Linux kernel with the proposed selection policy increases performance by 10.7% compared with the unmodified Linux kernel.

The aim of this study is to create and assemble the system with customizing/building Linux kernel and environments to be compatible and efficient on mini-ITX computer. The objective of the study is to create/customizing lightweight operating system using GNU/Linux to be used on computer to be used on vehicle. The system would also optimize the size and functionalities most probably would be implemented on car computer system.Keywords: mini-ATX, CarPC, Linux, Ubuntu, Qt, QML
