Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for dynamic resource allocation based on quality-of-service prediction are disclosed. In embodiments, an apparatus includes quality-of-service prediction circuitry and a resource controller. The quality-of-service prediction circuitry is to make quality-of-service predictions using a model based at least in part on at least one performance counter measurements and at least one quality-of-service measurement. The resource controller is to allocate one or more shared resources based on the quality-of-service predictions and architectural performance counter measurements.

Claims (28)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

at least one architectural performance counter;

quality-of-service prediction circuitry to make quality-of-service predictions using a model based at least in part on at least one architectural performance counter measurement collected during a first phase of execution of a workload and at least one quality-of-service measurement collected during the first phase of execution of the workload; and

a resource controller to allocate one or more shared resources based on the quality-of-service predictions, instead of quality-of-service measurements collected during a second phase of execution of the workload, and at least one architectural performance counter measurement collected during the second phase of execution of the workload.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first phase is a model training phase.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second phase is a model update phase in which the model is to be updated.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resource controller is to allocate the one or more shared resources based on a first control loop and the model is to be updated based on a second control loop separate from the first control loop.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more shared resources includes memory bandwidth.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more shared resources includes core frequency.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the model is a reinforcement learning model.

8 . A method comprising:

collecting, by an architectural performance counter in a hardware processor during a first phase of execution of a workload, at least one architectural performance counter measurement and at least one quality-of-service measurement;

predicting, by quality-of-service prediction circuitry in the hardware processor, quality-of-service using a model based at least in part on the at least one architectural performance counter measurement and the at least one quality-of-service measurement; and

allocating, by a resource controller in the hardware processor, one or more shared resources based on the quality-of-service predictions, instead of quality-of-service measurements collected during a second phase of execution of the workload, and at least one architectural performance counter measurement collected during a second phase of execution of the workload.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first phase is a model training phase.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second phase is a model update phase, the method further comprising:

collecting performance counter measurements and quality-of-service measurements during the model update phase; and

updating the model during the model update phase using the performance counter measurements and quality-of-service measurements collected during the model update phase.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein allocating the one or more shared resources is based on a first control loop and updating the model is based on a second control loop separate from the first control loop.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more shared resources includes memory bandwidth.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more shared resources includes core frequency.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the model is a reinforcement learning model.

15 . A system to execute a high-priority workload and a best-effort workload, the system comprising:

at least one architectural performance counter;

quality-of-service prediction circuitry to make quality-of-service predictions using a model based at least in part on at least one architectural performance counter measurement to be collected during a first phase of execution of the high-priority workload and at least one quality-of-service measurement to be collected during execution of the first phase of the high-priority workload; and

a resource controller to allocate one or more shared resources based on the quality-of-service predictions, instead of quality-of-service measurements collected during a second phase of execution of the workload, and at least one architectural performance counter measurement collected during the second phase of execution of the workload.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more shared resources includes memory bandwidth.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more shared resources includes core frequency.
