Abstract: Power management of digital circuits is raising of importance in a broad spectrum of computing domains. High-performance computing systems as the effect of the stop of Dennard's scaling have become power and thermal limited. In this manuscript, we evaluate the feasibility of using an open-source RISC-V based power controller for the high-performance computing market.
