Why choose this project topic?
The topic makes relating measured cache and branch events to bounded benchmark behaviour a testable computer-engineering problem with visible interfaces and failure cases. Measuring counter repeatability, runtime variation and event correlation helps a student compare design alternatives and explain how resource constraints affect the proposed implementation.
How do the selected hardware or embedded-software choices affect counter repeatability, runtime variation and event correlation when relating measured cache and branch events to bounded benchmark behaviour?
Choose an available development board or simulator, agree the supported interface and workload, and narrow relating measured cache and branch events to bounded benchmark behaviour with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the interfaces, operating assumptions and expected behaviour for relating measured cache and branch events to bounded benchmark behaviour.
- 02Run permitted microbenchmarks on an authorised computer, repeat controlled workloads and compare counter patterns with source-level expectations.
- 03Measure counter repeatability, runtime variation and event correlation and document failures, resource limits and reproducibility.
A suggested research approach
Run permitted microbenchmarks on an authorised computer, repeat controlled workloads and compare counter patterns with source-level expectations. Keep all tests on owned, simulated or approved low-voltage equipment. Record hardware and tool versions, compare output with an independent reference, and evaluate counter repeatability, runtime variation and event correlation using normal, boundary and interrupted-operation cases.
What you will need
- Authorised test computer
- Permitted microbenchmarks
- Performance profiling tools
Keep your project scope clear
Counter correlations do not prove a single causal bottleneck and depend on the processor model. Project writing does not supply working firmware or manufactured hardware.
