Power Consumption Signature: Characterizing an SSD

Characterizing Applications from Power Consumption: A Case Study for HPC Benchmarks

With the rise of Clouds and PaaS (Platform as a Service) usage, providers of large computing facilities are completely disconnected from users running jobs on their infrastructure. Thus, the old adage knowledge is power has never been so true. By having good insight on application running on their infrastructure, providers can save up to 30% of their energy consumption while not impacting too m...

Characterizing scientific production and consumption in Physics

We analyze the entire publication database of the American Physical Society generating longitudinal (50 years) citation networks geolocalized at the level of single urban areas. We define the knowledge diffusion proxy, and scientific production ranking algorithms to capture the spatio-temporal dynamics of Physics knowledge worldwide. By using the knowledge diffusion proxy we identify the key ci...

SSD != SSD - An Empirical Study to Identify Common Properties and Type-specific Behavior

Solid-state disks are promising high access speed at low energy consumption. While the basic technology for SSDs – flash memory – is well established, new product models are constantly emerging. With each new SSD generation, their behavior pattern changes significantly and it is therefore difficult to make out characteristics for SSDs in general. In this paper, we accomplish empirical, database...

CHARACTERIZING IMD Characterizing Intermodulation Distortion of High - Power Devices

Modern wireless communication systems demand for high power and broadband devices. There are different technologies emerging offering more and more power density, with single devices delivering power levels above 100 watts. These devices are targeted for broadband telecommunications like W-CDMA or Wi-Fi application. Intermodulation distortion is very critical in these applications because it ge...
