A new technique for performance regulation in event-driven systems, recently proposed by the authors, consists of an adaptive-gain integral control. The gain is adjusted in the control loop by a real-time estimation of the derivative of the plant-function with respect to the control input. This estimation is carried out by Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA). The main motivation comes from applications to throughput regulation in computer processors, where to-date, testing and assessment of the proposed control technique has been assessed by simulation. The purpose of this paper is to report on its implementation on a machine, namely an Intel Haswell microprocessor, and compare its performance to that obtained from cycle-level, full system simulation environment. The intrinsic contribution of the paper to the Workshop on Discrete Event System is in describing the process of taking an IPA-based design and simulation to a concrete implementation, thereby providing a bridge between theory and applications.
This paper presents, implements, and evaluates a power-regulation technique for multicore processors, based on an integral controller with adjustable gain. The gain is designed for wide stability margins, and computed in real time as part of the cont
When Perturbation Analysis (PA) yields unbiased sensitivity estimators for expected-value performance functions in discrete event dynamic systems, it can be used for performance optimization of those functions. However, when PA is known to be unbiase
Microgrids are increasingly recognized as a key technology for the integration of distributed energy resources into the power network, allowing local clusters of load and distributed energy resources to operate autonomously. However, microgrid operat
A dynamical system entrains to a periodic input if its state converges globally to an attractor with the same period. In particular, for a constant input the state converges to a unique equilibrium point for any initial condition. We consider the pro
This paper is concerned with the Proportional Integral (PI) regulation control of the left Neu-mann trace of a one-dimensional semilinear wave equation. The control input is selected as the right Neumann trace. The control design goes as follows. Fir
