چکیده
Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) techniques are used to improve energy efficiency of GPUs. Literature survey and thorough analysis of various schemes on DVFS techniques during the last decade are presented in this paper. Detailed analysis of the schemes is included with respect to comparison of various DVFS techniques over the years. To endow with knowledge of various power management techniques that utilize DVFS during the last decade is the main objective of this paper. During the study, we find that DVFS not only work solely but also in coordination with other power optimization techniques like load balancing and task mapping where performance and energy efficiency are affected by varying the platform and benchmark. Thorough analysis of various schemes on DVFS techniques is presented in this paper such that further research in the field of DVFS can be enhanced.
