Query: On-line Application Autotuning Exploiting Ensemble Models   Application autotuning is a promising path investigated in literature to
improve computation efficiency. In this context, the end-users define
high-level requirements and an autonomic manager is able to identify and seize
optimization opportunities by leveraging trade-offs between extra-functional
properties of interest, such as execution time, power consumption or quality of
results. The relationship between an application configuration and the
extra-functional properties might depend on the underlying architecture, on the
system workload and on features of the current input. For these reasons,
autotuning frameworks rely on application knowledge to drive the adaptation
strategies. The autotuning task is typically done offline because having it in
production requires significant effort to reduce its overhead. In this paper,
we enhance a dynamic autotuning framework with a module for learning the
application knowledge during the production phase, in a distributed fashion. We
leverage two strategies to limit the overhead introduced at the production
phase. On one hand, we use a scalable infrastructure capable of leveraging the
parallelism of the underlying platform. On the other hand, we use ensemble
models to speed up the predictive capabilities, while iteratively gathering
production data. Experimental results on synthetic applications and on a use
case show how the proposed approach is able to learn the application knowledge,
by exploring a small fraction of the design space.
