Abstract:Complex scientific problems are solved by high-performance computing (HPC) data centres. To reduce their energy consumption, recently the concept of dynamically scaling the voltage and frequency (DVFS) of the processor has been adopted for HPC systems. In this paper, we address the energy-performance trade-off of those systems using the queuing theory methodology, to study the opportunity of speed scaling technique in HPC data centres. To this end, we consider a real-world environment of 8 servers as well as d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
