Análise de Características Comportamentais de Aplicações OpenMP para Redução do Consumo de Energia
Resumo
Performance and energy consumption are fundamental requirements in computer systems. A very frequent challenge is to combine both aspects, searching to keep the high performance computing while consuming less energy. There are a lot of techniques to reduce energy consumption, but in general, they use modern processors resources or they require specific knowledge about application and platform used. In this paper, we propose a library that dynamically changes the processor frequency according to the application's computing behavior, using a previous analysis of its Memory-Bound regions. The results show a reduction of 1,89% in energy consumption for Lulesh application with an increase of 0,09% in runtime when we compare our approach against the governor Ondemand of the Linux Operating System.
