Title:

CPU-Memory Power Shifting on High Performance Computing

Abstract:

Power wall is one of the most serious issues for post peta-scale high-performance computing. A promising solution to tackle with this problem is to overprovision hardware components and control the total system power consumption by software, i.e. power capping. In such overprovisioned systems, the key is to translate the limited power budget into sustained performance effectively. This talk introduces a technique of power shifting between microprocessor and memory devices for such purpose. Based on the characteristics of application programs, we attempt to assign appropriate amount of power budget to each hardware components. Our real machine based experiments show that CPU-memory power budget optimization has a great impact on system performance.*
