Improving GPU Energy Efficiency With Component-Level Power Management (AMD)

Improving GPU Energy Efficiency With Component-Level Power Management (AMD)

Researchers from AMD released “CompPow: A Case for Component-level GPU Power Management”. Abstract “The ever increasing demand for ML-driven intelligence in a wide spectrum of domains has led to ubiquity of GPUs. At the same time, GPUs are notorious for their power consumption needs and often dominate power allocation in a typical ML datacenter.
