  • 利用元数据指导强化学习,实现多任务协同优化频率调节。
  • 在五款手机六类应用上,性能功耗比最高提升17%,体验质量提升26%。
  • 适配速度快70.8%,避免传统方法需重新训练的麻烦,适合多设备部署。

动态电压频率调节是提升移动平台能效的关键技术。然而,传统基于启发式的调度器难以应对异构SoC设计与多样化应用负载的复杂性。尽管强化学习方法表现更优,但其泛化能力差,且每种硬件-应用组合需大量重训练,部署成本高。本文观察到设备与应用的元数据中蕴含了丰富的DVFS知识,提出将异构设备与应用的DVFS建模为多任务强化学习问题。引入MetaDVFS框架,通过元数据系统性挖掘并迁移不同任务间的共享知识,输出具备强泛化能力的DVFS模型。在五款谷歌Pixel手机运行六类应用的实验中,MetaDVFS实现性能-功耗比最高提升17%,用户体验质量最高提升26%。相比先进方法,适应速度提升70.8%,性能高出5.8%-27.6%,且无负迁移风险。结果表明,MetaDVFS是异构移动环境中可扩展的高效解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling is essential for enhancing energy efficiency in mobile platforms. However, traditional heuristic-based governors are increasingly inadequate for managing the complexity of heterogeneous System-on-Chip designs and diverse application workloads. Although reinforcement learning approaches offer improved performance, their poor generalization capability and reliance on extensive retraining for each hardware and application combination leads to significant deployment costs. In this work, we observe that device and application metadata inherently encapsulate valuable knowledge for DVFS, presenting an opportunity to overcome these limitations. We formulate DVFS for heterogeneous devices and applications as a multi-task reinforcement learning problem. We introduce MetaDVFS, which is a metadata-guided framework that systematically leverages metadata to discover and transfer shared knowledge across DVFS tasks. MetaDVFS can output a set of DVFS models with significant generalization capability for various applications of heterogeneous devices. Evaluations on five Google Pixel devices running six applications show that MetaDVFS achieves up to 17% improvement in Performance-Power Ratio and up to 26% improvement in Quality of Experience. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, MetaDVFS delivers 70.8% faster adaptation and 5.8-27.6% higher performance over standalone device-application specific training, while avoiding negative transfer effects. These results establish MetaDVFS as an effective and scalable solution for DVFS deployment in heterogeneous mobile environments.
