Computer Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Multicore Workload Affinity Model

This Computer Engineering final year project investigates assigning fictional tasks to cores under shared-cache constraints, linking hardware behaviour and software assumptions through an explicitly bounded prototype or simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic makes assigning fictional tasks to cores under shared-cache constraints a testable computer-engineering problem with visible interfaces and failure cases. Measuring completion time, migrations and cache interference estimate 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 completion time, migrations and cache interference estimate when assigning fictional tasks to cores under shared-cache constraints?

Choose an available development board or simulator, agree the supported interface and workload, and narrow assigning fictional tasks to cores under shared-cache constraints with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the interfaces, operating assumptions and expected behaviour for assigning fictional tasks to cores under shared-cache constraints.
  2. 02Simulate bounded task traces, compare affinity rules and account for migration and cache-sharing assumptions.
  3. 03Measure completion time, migrations and cache interference estimate and document failures, resource limits and reproducibility.

A suggested research approach

Simulate bounded task traces, compare affinity rules and account for migration and cache-sharing assumptions. Keep all tests on owned, simulated or approved low-voltage equipment. Record hardware and tool versions, compare output with an independent reference, and evaluate completion time, migrations and cache interference estimate using normal, boundary and interrupted-operation cases.

What you will need

  • Synthetic task traces
  • Multicore simulator
  • Documented cost model

Keep your project scope clear

Modelled performance is not a measured result for every operating system or processor. Project writing does not supply working firmware or manufactured hardware.
