Abstract
In this paper, an evolutionary-neuro-fuzzy-based task scheduling approach (ENF-S) to jointly optimize the main critical parameters of heterogeneous multi-core systems is proposed. This approach has two phases: first, the fuzzy neural network (FNN) is trained using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II), considering the critical parameters of heterogeneous multi-core systems on a training data set consisting of different application graphs. These critical parameters are execution time, temperature, failure rate, and power consumption. The output of the trained FNN determines the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">criticality degree</i> for various processing cores based on the system's current state. Next, the trained FNN is employed as an online scheduler to jointly optimize the critical objectives of multi-core systems at runtime. Due to the uncertainty in sensor measurements and the difference between computational models and reality, applying the fuzzy neural network is advantageous. The efficiency of ENF-S is investigated in various aspects including its joint optimization capability, appropriateness of generated fuzzy rules, comparison with related research, and its overhead analysis through several experiments on real-world and synthetic application graphs. Based on these experiments, our ENF-S outperforms the related studies in optimizing all design criteria. Its improvements over related methods are estimated <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$19.21\%$</tex-math></inline-formula> in execution time, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$13.07\%$</tex-math></inline-formula> in temperature, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$25.09\%$</tex-math></inline-formula> in failure rate, and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$13.16\%$</tex-math></inline-formula> in power consumption, averagely.
