Abstract

Due to the operating costs and failure rates of computing platforms, energy efficiency has become a major concern for modern and future many-core systems. In the quest for high performance, the power consumption growth rate must slow down while delivering more performance per unit of power. To improve the energy efficiency of such systems, processors are equipped with low-power techniques such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) and power capping. These techniques must be controlled carefully as per the workload; otherwise, it may result in significant performance loss and/or power consumption due to system overheads (e.g. DVFS transition latency). Existing approaches [1], [2] are not effective in adapting to workload variations as they do not consider the combined effect of application compute-/memory-intensity, thread synchronization contention, and non-uniform memory accesses (NUMAs) owing to the underlying processor architecture. This poster discusses a workload-aware runtime energy management technique that takes the aforementioned factors into account for efficient V-f control.
