AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Modern computer systems face challenges in balancing performance with total cost of ownership (TCO) in large data centers, particularly due to varying power consumption based on workloads and configurations, which existing techniques fail to optimize effectively.

Method used

A power-performance management system that dynamically adjusts parameters such as CPU frequency, GPU frequency, and memory bandwidth while monitoring total power consumption to generate a power profile, optimizing performance per power usage and reducing TCO by scheduling workloads based on compatible power profiles.

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances performance per power usage, reduces TCO by optimizing power usage across multiple components, and improves workload scheduling efficiency in data centers, leading to lower infrastructure costs and energy consumption.

Abstract

A method comprises receiving a workload for a computer system; sweeping at least one parameter of the computer system while executing the workload; monitoring one or more characteristics of the computer system while sweeping the at least one parameter, the one or more characteristics including total power consumption of the computer system; generating a power profile for the workload that indicates a respective selected value for the at least one parameter based on analysis of the monitored total power consumption of the computer system while sweeping the at least one parameter, and executing the workload based on the respective selected value of the at least one parameter.
