Energy conservation of such computing systems has become an important research topic. Dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS) is proved to be an appealing method for saving energy for traditional computing centers. However, there is still a lack of firsthand study on the effectiveness of GPU DVFS. This paper presents a thorough measurement study that aims to explore how GPU DVFS affects the system energy consumption. We conduct experiments on a real GPU platform with 37 benchmark applications. Our results show that GPU voltage/frequency scaling is an effective approach to conserving energy. For example, by scaling down the GPU core voltage and frequency, we have achieved an average of 19.28% energy reduction compared with the default setting, while giving up no more than 4% of performance. For all tested GPU applications, core voltage scaling is significantly effective to reduce system energy consumption. Meanwhile the effects of scaling core frequency and memory frequency depend on the characteristics of GPU applications.","PeriodicalId":112226,"journal":{"name":"Power-Aware Computer Systems","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115097333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these processors, the CPU and the GPU share the same physical memory. Due to high density, good power efficiency, and low cost, integrated graphics processors are promising candidates for next-generation micro-servers and, hence, data-center workloads.\u0000 While discrete graphics processors have been extensively studied, there is very little work on characterizing integrated GPUs. This paper is a step towards understanding the power and performance of integrated GPUs. Our results reveal many architectural caveats that programmers need to be aware of to exploit integrated GPUs: memory contention between the CPU and GPU, workload dependent energy efficiency, and data transfer tradeoffs.","PeriodicalId":112226,"journal":{"name":"Power-Aware Computer Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121069030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we find that the existing CPU power models on smartphones are ill-suited for modern multicore CPUs. We develop a new CPU power model with a high accuracy, 95.6% on average.

We find that the well-known race-to-idle heuristic is close to the optimal solution on the older machine. On the newer machine, however, the optimal solution outperforms race-to-idle by over 35%.

The background app design is a representative implemented in all major mobile OSes. The OS keeps apps that are not currently interacting with the user in memory to avoid repeated app loading.

However, we demonstrate that application errors, in particular memory leaks that cause system memory pressure, can easily cripple this mechanism.

These apps are typically optimized for power and performance on the app processors of mobile platforms. However, modern mobile platforms are sophisticated system on chips (SoCs) where the main app processors are complemented by multiple co-processors. Recently chip vendors have undertaken nascent efforts to make these previously hidden co-processors such as the digital signal processors (DSPs) programmable. In this paper, we explore the energy and performance implications of off-loading the computation associated with machine learning algorithms in context-aware apps to DSPs embedded in mobile SoCs. Our results show a 17% reduction in a TI OMAP4 based mobile platform's energy usage from off-loading context classification computation to the DSP core with indiscernible latency overhead. We also describe the design of a run-time system service for energy efficient context inference on Android devices, which takes parameters from the app to instantiate the classification model and schedules the execution on the DSP or app processor as specified by the app.","PeriodicalId":112226,"journal":{"name":"Power-Aware Computer Systems","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116572519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this work has been carried out on fan-less servers to reduce power consumption. Although fan-less servers are expected to reduce power consumption, facility fans have to provide excessive air to secure a safe operation of servers. In order to achieve optimized air-flow from facility fans to cool fan-less servers, a power saving control system incorporating the IT system and cooling facilities is proposed. Here, facility fans are controlled based on server information such as CPU temperature, rack position and so on. Through this study, we suggest that the minimum point in total power consumption of the container server with no performance penalty existed by the trade-off relationship between the power consumption changes of servers and of facility fans with CPU temperature. This enables us to operate the server system with minimized power consumption depending on the air temperature. To verify the energy-saving effect of this technology, a prototype container server with the proposed system was constructed. As a result, 22.8% energy saving was achieved with this new system, compared with the conventional container servers with built-in fans.","PeriodicalId":112226,"journal":{"name":"Power-Aware Computer Systems","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128167868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in a balanced system design, these changes call for matching improvement in the network subsystem as well. Conventional Ethernet-based networks are a potential energy-efficiency bottleneck due to the limited performance of gigabit Ethernet and the high power overhead of 10-gigbit Ethernet. In this paper, we evaluate the benefits of using an alternative, high-bandwidth, low-power, interconnect---PCIe---for power-efficient networking. Our experiments using PCIe's Non-Transparent Bridging for data transfer demonstrate significant performance gains at lower power, leading to 60--124% better energy efficiency.
