چکیده

This paper explores the system-level power-performance tradeoffs of dynamically varying CPU speed. Previous work in CPU speed-setting considered only the power of the CPU and only CPUs that vary supply voltage with frequency. This work takes a broader approach, considering total system power, battery capacity, and main memory bandwidth. The results, which are up to a factor of four less than ideal, show that all three must be considered when setting the CPU speed.

Balancing Batteries, Power, and Performance: System Issues in CPU Speed-Setting for Mobile Computing A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING by

This thesis studies the problem of balancing power and performance in mobile computers, specifically, trading off power for performance by CPU speed-setting. The traditional approach to power-performance trade-offs assumes that batteries and memory bandwidth are ideal and focuses on lowering the energy per operation. This research, however, shows that non-ideal battery and performance behavior ...

OS-Directed Throttling of Processor Activity for Dynamic Power Management

Today, embedding fast processors in portable devices is infeasible because such battery operated systems cannot be supplied with enough power and cannot be kept cool for a reasonable period of time. Many processors offer the feature of reducible clock speed to save power. Reducing clock speed improves the performance-to-energy ratio for three reasons: First, the number of stall cycles that the ...

Ultra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications

Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
