Power Consumption of GPUs from a Software Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
GPUs are now considered as serious challengers for highperformance computing solutions. They have power consumptions up to 300 W. This may lead to power supply and thermal dissipation problems in computing centers. In this article we investigate, using measurements, how and where modern GPUs are using energy during various computations in a CUDA environment.

Investigating the Effects of Hardware Parameters on Power Consumptions in SPMV Algorithms on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
Although Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMVs) algorithms are simple, they include important parts of Linear Algebra algorithms in Mathematics and Physics areas. As these algorithms can be run in parallel, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been considered as one of the best candidates to run these algorithms. In the recent years, power consumption has been considered as one of the metr...
متن کاملPower and Performance Management of GPUs Based Cluster
Power consumption in GPUs based cluster became the major obstacle in the adoption of high productivity GPU accelerators in the high performance computing industry. The power consumed by GPU chips represent about 75% of the total GPU based cluster power consumption. This is due to the fact that the GPU cards are often configured at peak performance, and consequently, they will be active all the ...

متن کاملA new CPA resistant software implementation for symmetric ciphers with smoothed power consumption: SIMON case study
In this paper we propose a new method for applying hiding countermeasure against CPA attacks. This method is for software implementation, based on smoothing power consumption of the device. This method is evaluated on the SIMON scheme as a case study; however, it is not relying on any specific SIMON features. Our new method includes only AND equivalent and XOR equivalent operations since every ...
