Improving Computing Systems Automatic Multiobjective Optimization Through Meta-Optimization

2016

This paper presents the extension of framework for automatic design space exploration (FADSE) tool using a meta-optimization approach, which is used to improve the performance of design space exploration algorithms, by driving two different multiobjective meta-heuristics concurrently. More precisely, we selected two genetic multiobjective algorithms: 1) non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II and 2) strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm 2, that work together in order to improve both the solutions’ quality and the convergence speed. With the proposed improvements, we ran FADSE in order to optimize the hardware parameters’ values of the grid ALU processor (GAP) micro-architecture from a b…
