Power consumption is a major factor that limits the performance of computers. We survey the
“state of the art” in techniques that reduce the total power consumed by a microprocessor …

We present Orion, a power-performance interconnection network simulator that is capable of
providing detailed power characteristics, in addition to performance characteristics, to …

As energy consumption has become a majorconstraint in current system design, it is
essential to look beyond the traditional low-power circuit and architectural optimizations …

Applications on today's high-end systems typically make varying load demands over time. A
single application may have many different phases during its lifetime, and workload mixes …

Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) allows a program to execute at a non-peak CPU frequency
in order to reduce CPU power, and hence, energy consumption; however, it is oftentimes …

Modern server farm and cluster sites consume large quantities of energy both to power and
cool the machines in the site. At the same time, less power supply redundancy is offered and …

The high power consumption of a processor is becoming a critical problem for both battery-
powered devices and high-performance computers. It reduces circuit reliability, complicates …

This paper presents the design and implementation of a compiler algorithm that effectively
reduces the energy usage of memory-bound applications via dynamic voltage scaling …

Energy-efficient processor design is becoming more and more important with technology
scaling and with high performance requirements. Supply-voltage scaling is an efficient way …

Modern microprocessor cores reach their high performance levels with the help of high clock
rates, parallel and speculative execution of a large number of instructions, and vast cache …
