Abstract

Many core architectures are expected to be the dominant

trend in future general-purpose computing systems. With the
number of on-chip processor cores rising to the Hundreds,
the problem of resource allocation cannot be addressed with
traditional methods employed by off-chip multiprocessor
architectures.
Current resource management Mechanisms and Polices are
inadequate for future Multicore systems. Instead, a
hardware/software interface based on THE VIRTUAL
PRIVATE MACHINE abstraction would allow software
policies to explicitly manage Microarchitecture resources.
VPM policies, implemented primarily in software, translates
application and system objectives into VPM resource
assignments. Then, VPM mechanisms securely multiplex,
arbitrate, or distribute hardware resources to satisfy the
VPM assignments.
