Abstract
-Self-awareness has a long history in biology, psy-
chology, medicine, and more recently in engineering and comput-
ing, where self-aware features are used to enable adaptivity to
improve a system´s functional value, performance and robustness.
With complex many-core Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) facing the
conflicting requirements of performance, resiliency, energy, heat,
cost, security, etc. - in the face of highly dynamic operational
behaviors coupled with process, environment, and workload
variabilities - there is an emerging need for self-awareness in
these complex SoCs. Unlike traditional MultiProcessor Systems-
on-Chip (MPSoCs), self-aware SoCs must deploy an intelligent
co-design of the control, communication, and computing infras-
tructure that interacts with the physical environment in real-time
in order to modify the system´s behavior so as to adaptively
achieve desired objectives and Quality-of-Service (QoS). Self-
aware SoCs require a combination of ubiquitous sensing and
actuation, health-monitoring, and statistical model-building to
enable the SoC´s adaptation over time and space. After defining
the notion of self-awareness in computing, this paper presents the
Cyber-Physical System-on-Chip (CPSoC) concept as an exemplar
of a self-aware SoC that intrinsically couples on-chip and cross-
layer sensing and actuation using a sensor-actuator rich fabric
to enable self-awareness.
