Profile-Based Energy Reduction for High-Performance Processors
Michael C.Y. Huang, Jose Renau, Josep Torrellas · 2001
To reduce the energy consumption of modern processors, designers have proposed many energy-saving techniques. In many cases, these techniques are dynamically activated and deactivated. In systems that employ these techniques, to adapt to changes in application behavior, profiling can help determine how to manage the activation of techniques to improve a certain metric.
