Towards Energy Auto Tuning

Energy efficiency is gaining more and more importance, since well-known ecological reasons lead to rising energy costs. In consequence, energy consumption is now also an important economical criterion. Energy consumption of single hardware resources has been thoroughly optimized for years. Now software becomes the major target of energy optimization. In this paper we introduce an approach called energy auto tuning(EAT), which optimizes energy efficiency of software systems running on multiple resources. The optimization of more than one resource leads to higher energy savings, because communication costs can be taken into account. E.g., if two components run on the same resource, the communication costs are likely to be less, compared to be running on different resources. The best results can be achieved in heterogeneous environments as different resource characteristics enlarge the synergy effects gainable by our optimization technique. EAT software systems derive all possible distributions of themselves on a given set of hardware resources and reconfigure themselves to achieve the lowest energy consumption possible at any time. In this paper we describe our software architecture to implement EAT.
