Information-driven networks include a large category of networking systems, where network nodes are aware of information delivered and thus can not only forward data packets but may also perform information processing. In many situations, the quality of service (QoS) in information-driven networks is provisioned with the redundancy in information. Traditional performance models generally adopt evaluation measures suitable for packet-oriented service guarantee, such as packet delay, throughput, and packet loss rate. These performance measures, however, do not align well with the actual need of information-driven networks. New performance measures and models for information-driven networks, despite their importance, have been mainly blank, largely because information processing is clearly application dependent and cannot be easily captured within a generic framework. To fill the vacancy, we present a new performance evaluation framework particularly tailored for information-driven networks, based on the recent development of stochastic network calculus. We analyze the QoS with respect to information delivery and study the scheduling problem with the new performance metrics. Our analytical framework can be used to calculate the network capacity in information delivery and in the meantime to help transmission scheduling for a large body of systems where QoS is stochastically guaranteed with the redundancy in information.

The rapid advances in sensors and ultra-low power wireless communication has enabled a new generation of wireless sensor networks: Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). To the best of our knowledge the current paper is the first to address broadcast in
WBAN. We first analyze several broadcast strategies inspired from the area of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN). The proposed strategies are evaluated via the OMNET++ simulator that we enriched with realistic human body mobility models and channel models issued from the recent research on biomedical and health informatics. Contrary to the common expectation, our results show that existing research in DTN cannot be transposed without significant modifications in WBANs area. That is, existing broadcast strategies for DTNs do not perform well with human body mobility. However, our extensive simulations give valuable insights and directions for designing efficient broadcast in WBAN. Furthermore, we propose a novel broadcast strategy that outperforms the existing ones in terms of end-to-end delay, network coverage and energy consumption. Additionally, we performed investigations of independent interest related to the ability of all the studied strategies to ensure the total order delivery property when stressed with various packet rates. These investigations open new and challenging research directions.
This dissertation introduces measurement-based performance modeling and prediction techniques for dense linear algebra algorithms. As a core principle, these techniques avoid executions of such algorithms entirely, and instead predict their performan
ce through runtime estimates for the underlying compute kernels. For a variety of operations, these predictions allow to quickly select the fastest algorithm configurations from available alternatives. We consider two scenarios that cover a wide range of computations: To predict the performance of blocked algorithms, we design algorithm-independent performance models for kernel operations that are generated automatically once per platform. For various matrix operations, instantaneous predictions based on such models both accurately identify the fastest algorithm, and select a near-optimal block size. For performance predictions of BLAS-based tensor contractions, we propose cache-aware micro-benchmarks that take advantage of the highly regular structure inherent to contraction algorithms. At merely a fraction of a contractions runtime, predictions based on such micro-benchmarks identify the fastest combination of tensor traversal and compute kernel.
The A64FX CPU is arguably the most powerful Arm-based processor design to date. Although it is a traditional cache-based multicore processor, its peak performance and memory bandwidth rival accelerator devices. A good understanding of its performance
features is of paramount importance for developers who wish to leverage its full potential. We present an architectural analysis of the A64FX used in the Fujitsu FX1000 supercomputer at a level of detail that allows for the construction of Execution-Cache-Memory (ECM) performance models for steady-state loops. In the process we identify architectural peculiarities that point to viable generic optimization strategies. After validating the model using simple streaming loops we apply the insight gained to sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) and the domain wall (DW) kernel from quantum chromodynamics (QCD). For SpMV we show why the CRS matrix storage format is not a good practical choice on this architecture and how the SELL-C-sigma format can achieve bandwidth saturation. For the DW kernel we provide a cache-reuse analysis and show how an appropriate choice of data layout for complex arrays can realize memory-bandwidth saturation in this case as well. A comparison with state-of-the-art high-end Intel Cascade Lake AP and Nvidia V100 systems puts the capabilities of the A64FX into perspective. We also explore the potential for power optimizations using the tuning knobs provided by the Fugaku system, achieving energy savings of about 31% for SpMV and 18% for DW.
Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) used in commercial many-core processors typically incorporate priority arbitration. Moreover, they experience bursty traffic due to application workloads. However, most state-of-the-art NoC analytical performance analysis tech
niques assume fair arbitration and simple traffic models. To address these limitations, we propose an analytical modeling technique for priority-aware NoCs under bursty traffic. Experimental evaluations with synthetic and bursty traffic show that the proposed approach has less than 10% modeling error with respect to cycle-accurate NoC simulator.
The A64FX CPU powers the current number one supercomputer on the Top500 list. Although it is a traditional cache-based multicore processor, its peak performance and memory bandwidth rival accelerator devices. Generating efficient code for such a new
architecture requires a good understanding of its performance features. Using these features, we construct the Execution-Cache-Memory (ECM) performance model for the A64FX processor in the FX700 supercomputer and validate it using streaming loops. We also identify architectural peculiarities and derive optimization hints. Applying the ECM model to sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV), we motivate why the CRS matrix storage format is inappropriate and how the SELL-C-sigma format with suitable code optimizations can achieve bandwidth saturation for SpMV.
