 AIM-DB is the direct input of the '''WP3'''. The objective of this WP is to dynamically adapt the application with this knowledge of the architecture present state with respect to monitored events. The outputs are the different methods that will be developed to perform this self-adaptability, and the associated software codes and hardware developments. Task 3a) will study a centralized remapping scenario where the information found in  AIM-DB is exploited globally to perform application remapping and binary relinking/reloading, while task 3b) will examine the distributed remapping scenario which takes advantage on AIM-DB to perform local or global remapping orders. Finally, task 3c) defines a common set of example applications that will be used for the validation of the different concepts. 
 
+= WP1 : On-line Non-Intrusive Monitoring ==

+In this first WP, the general objective is to provide monitoring capabilities to platform-based SoC. The meaning of monitoring, for this project, is the measurement of different characteristics of the cores, while the application is running. These measurements are done continuously in a non-intrusive way (no modification of the initial application). One of the first quality of the added monitoring elements is that they ensure a minimum perturbation compared to the initial structure. The studied platform is composed of tiles, interconnected with a Network on Chip (NoC). The tiles can embed simple processors (like RISC R3000 or LEON SPARCV8 processor), complex clusters (multiple cores with their associated memories), or even powerful hardware accelerators (probably reconfigurable cores), with a possible mix between these categories. In fact we just suppose that it can be composed of SW and HW elements sharing the same set of communications primitives. One other important point is that the platform is supposed to be composed of some hundreds of these different tiles.

+Software and hardware monitoring for performance, power/voltage/temperature and fault detection work as first level instrumentation tasks, and are studied in WP tasks 1.a,1.b and 1.c. They deliver raw monitored digital information on a periodic basis or permanently (online behaviour). This information is then modelled in the form of classified events in the task 1.d. The event model specifies the event format, fixed for the architecture. Formatted events are stored on the local memories of the architecture tiles, in fixed-size cyclic buffers designed to be easily accessible. Altogether, the disseminated buffers represent the “Distributed Raw Event Tables” (DRET) available at all times within the architecture. The monitoring capabilities are summarized in figure 4.
