ABSTRACT
Controlling power usage has become a core objective in modern computing platforms. In this article we present an innovative Time Warp architecture oriented to efficiently run parallel simulations under a power cap. Our architectural organization considers power usage as a foundational design principle, as opposed to classical power-unaware Time Warp design. We provide early experimental results showing the potential of our proposal.

Adaptive Performance Optimization under Power Constraint in Multi-thread Applications with Diverse Scalability
ICPE '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance EngineeringEnergy consumption has become a core concern in computing systems. In this context, power capping is an approach that aims at ensuring that the power consumption of a system does not overcome a predefined threshold. Although various power capping ...
