There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to optimize power and energy efficiency in multi-core processors. To that end, this work proposes control theoretic approaches for balancing power and performance in order to achieve better performance at lower energy expense. There are three major aspects of this work. The first contribution of this work is effective and efficient power and performance management in a single voltage island in a processor. The second contribution of this work is a proposal to maximize power efficiency in a many-core processor that is composed of several voltage islands. The third contribution of this work is a hierarchical power management approach that can improve performance and energy efficiency under a power budget in a data center.
