This paper represents a survey of the research context behind the paper Balancing Power Consumption in Multiprocessor Systems [15] by A. Merkel and F. Bellosa, presented at EuroSys06. Power dissipation is becoming an increasing problematic side effect of power consumption in computing systems. Contemporary cooling infrastructures are close to their limits and costs are ever increasing. The surv...

Interaction of Alfven waves with plasma inhomogeneity generates phase mixing which can cause the dissipation of Alfven waves. We investigated the dissipation of standing Alfven waves due to phase mixing at the presence of steady flow and sheared magnetic field in solar spicules. Moreover, the transition region between chromosphere and corona was considered. Our numerical simulation showed that ...

Energy consumption constraints on computing systems are more important than ever. Maintenance costs for high performance systems are limiting the applicability of processing devices with large dissipation power. New solutions are needed to increase both the computation capability and the power efficiency. Moreover, energy efficient applications should balance performance vs. consumption. Theref...

Plastic energy dissipation is a key factor in the response of inelastic structures subjected to seismic input, and often regarded as primary source structural damage due deformation components. Accurately predicting structure’s plastic essential for efficient energy-based design assessment. While single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system provides simple effective method estimating dissipation, few...

In this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow I-core subjected to blast loading was studied. Special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. Several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. The material and geo...

Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. In numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

In a recent article, Nature Communications 7 (2016) 12068, the authors claimed that they demonstrated sub-kT energy dissipation at elementary logic operations. However, the argumentation is invalid because it neglects the dominant source of energy dissipation, namely, the charging energy of the capacitance of the input electrode, which totally dissipates during the full (0-1-0) cycle of logic v...

The development of sophisticated experimental means to control nanoscale systems has motivated efforts to design driving protocols that minimize the energy dissipated to the environment. Computational models are a crucial tool in this practical challenge. We describe a general method for sampling an ensemble of finite-time, nonequilibrium protocols biased toward a low average dissipation. We sh...

Organizational techniques for reducing energy dissipation in on–chip processor caches as well as off–chip caches have been observed to provide substantial energy savings in a technology independent manner. We propose and evaluate the use of block buffering using multiple block buffers, subbanking and bit line isolation to reduce the power dissipation within on–chip caches for superscalar CPUs. ...

The dissipation range energy balance of the direct interaction approximation is applied to rotating turbulence when rotation effects persist well into the dissipation range. Assuming that RoRe << 1 and that three-wave interactions are dominant, the dissipation range is found to be concentrated in the wavevector plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. This conclusion is consistent with previou...
