Linking High-Level Synthesis with FPGA Runtime Orchestration

Authors: Despoina Tomkou, Aggelos Ferikoglou, Dimosthenis Masouros, Sotirios Xydis, and Dimitrios Soudris

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 141, 17th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 15th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2026)


Abstract
FPGAs are increasingly being adopted across the edge-to-cloud continuum due to their ability to provide both high performance and energy efficiency. However, the complexity of programming FPGAs often leads to deployed designs that underutilize available resources. FPGA multi-tenancy has been proposed to enhance resource utilization, yet monolithic designs and dynamic workload demands continue to challenge efficient FPGA usage and compliance with Quality of Service requirements. To address these issues, we propose a novel framework for the optimal orchestration of FPGAs across the edge-to-cloud continuum while meeting user demands. The framework generates approximations of Pareto-optimal designs for each application, capturing trade-offs between performance and resource usage with minimal bitstream generation. This information allows the runtime orchestrator to select the most suitable design based on available PR regions and the QoS requirements of each user. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves an average reduction of QoS violations by a factor of 8.1× across diverse workloads and baseline configurations. Overall, the framework offers a practical and effective solution for realizing FPGA-as-a-Service across the edge-to-cloud continuum.

Adjacent LSTM-Based Page Scheduling for Hybrid DRAM/NVM Memory Systems

Authors: Manolis Katsaragakis, Konstantinos Stavrakakis, Dimosthenis Masouros, Lazaros Papadopoulos, and Dimitrios Soudris

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 107, 14th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-Core Architectures and 12th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2023)


Abstract
Recent advances in memory technologies have led to the rapid growth of hybrid systems that combine traditional DRAM and Non Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies, as the latter provide lower cost per byte, low leakage power and larger capacities than DRAM, while they can guarantee comparable access latency. Such kind of heterogeneous memory systems impose new challenges in terms of page placement and migration among the alternative technologies of the heterogeneous memory system. In this paper, we present a novel approach for efficient page placement on heterogeneous DRAM/NVM systems. We design an adjacent LSTM-based approach for page placement, which strongly relies on page accesses prediction, while sharing knowledge among pages with behavioral similarity. The proposed approach leads up to 65.5% optimized performance compared to existing approaches, while achieving near-optimal results and saving 20.2% energy consumption on average. Moreover, we propose a new page replacement policy, namely clustered-LRU, achieving up to 8.1% optimized performance, compared to the default Least Recently Used (LRU) policy.

Resource Aware GPU Scheduling in Kubernetes Infrastructure

Authors: Aggelos Ferikoglou, Dimosthenis Masouros, Achilleas Tzenetopoulos, Sotirios Xydis, and Dimitrios Soudris

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 88, 12th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-core Architectures and 10th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2021)


Abstract
Nowadays, there is an ever-increasing number of artificial intelligence inference workloads pushed and executed on the cloud. To effectively serve and manage the computational demands, data center operators have provisioned their infrastructures with accelerators. Specifically for GPUs, support for efficient management lacks, as state-of-the-art schedulers and orchestrators, threat GPUs only as typical compute resources ignoring their unique characteristics and application properties. This phenomenon combined with the GPU over-provisioning problem leads to severe resource under-utilization. Even though prior work has addressed this problem by colocating applications into a single accelerator device, its resource agnostic nature does not manage to face the resource under-utilization and quality of service violations especially for latency critical applications. In this paper, we design a resource aware GPU scheduling framework, able to efficiently colocate applications on the same GPU accelerator card. We integrate our solution with Kubernetes, one of the most widely used cloud orchestration frameworks. We show that our scheduler can achieve 58.8% lower end-to-end job execution time 99%-ile, while delivering 52.5% higher GPU memory usage, 105.9% higher GPU utilization percentage on average and 44.4% lower energy consumption on average, compared to the state-of-the-art schedulers, for a variety of ML representative workloads.
