Adapt&Cap: Coordinating System- and Application-Level Adaptation for Power-Constrained Systems

Can Hankendi, Ayse Kivilcim Coskun, Henry Hoffmann

Abstract: The paper proposes an adaptive framework for modern data centers that jointly manages application- and system-level (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling) adaptation to improve energy efficiency of multicore servers. The results of applying this framework show that significant power savings and performance improvements are possible with respect to current data center management techniques.
