Bounding Performance Degradation
Phase mappings dynamically configurable Can limit performance degradation sacrificing power efficiency Bakup EO Micro’06
27
GPHT Overhead Insignificant ~0.02%
28
DVFS Invariance Important constraint when talking “actions”
If actions change phase classifications: Obsolete past history & unreliable predictions
29
DVFS Invariance Need better explanation!!
30
Program Phases Distinct and often-recurring regions of program behavior How can we detect recurrent execution under real-system variability? How can we predict future phase patterns? How can we leverage predicted phase behavior for workload-adaptive power management? Can we do better than simple, reactive methods? Useful for: Characterizing execution regions Use current phase/behavior to predict future behavior Managing dynamic adaptation
