Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling for 3D Classical Spin Glass application

Abstract

The power consumption of large-scale high performance computing (HPC) systems is becoming a crucial challenge in the context of increasing the performance regardless of energy consumption [1]. Therefore, finding ways to improve energy efficiency has become a main issue for HPC applications. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a widely used and powerful technique for reducing energy consumption in modern processors. The present paper investigates energy efficiency of 3D Classical Spin Glass [2], [3] application using the performance, ondemand and powersave modes of DVFS method. The series of experiments show that the execution time of OnDemand and PowerSave is the same, while the OnDemand mode is better due to the power consumption and frequency balance for the system.
