OS-Directed Throttling of Processor Activity for Dynamic Power Management
Frank Bellosa · 1999
This paper discusses the fine-grain and thread-specific control of CPU clock speed to save power while considering real-time requirements. Because the expected power savings base on very subtle effects (saving memory cycles, battery discharge analysis, speed-voltage correlation) a trace-driven simulation is unfeasible. Therefore we describe our approach in a way, that a true evaluation with real hardware can follow.
