PuPPET: A New Power-Performance Modeling Tool for High Performance Computing

As high performance computing (HPC) continues to grow in scale and complexity, energy becomes a critical constraint in the race to exascale computing. The days of “performance at all cost” are coming to an end. While performance is still a major objective, future HPC will have to deliver desired performance under the energy constraint. Among various power management methods, power capping is a ...
