Recent Intel processors support the Running Average Power Level (RAPL) interface, which
among other things provides estimated energy measurements for the CPUs, integrated …

Main memory (DRAM) consumes as much as half of the total system power in a computer
today, due to the increasing demand for memory capacity and bandwidth. There is a …

The energy consumption of DRAM is a critical concern in modern computing systems.
Improvements in manufacturing process technology have allowed DRAM vendors to lower …

To improve energy efficiency and comply with the power budgets, it is important to be able to
measure the power consumption of cloud computing servers. Intel's Running Average …

Energy consumption has become a major constraint on the capabilities of computer
systems. In large systems the energy consumed by Dynamic Random Access Memories …

This paper describes a comprehensive approach for using the memory controller to improve
DRAM energy efficiency and manage DRAM power. We make three contributions:(1) we …

The anticipated explosive growth of pervasive and mobile computing devices that are
typically constrained by energy has brought hardware and software techniques for energy …

Existing techniques manage power for the main memory by passively monitoring the
memory traffic, and based on which, predict when to power down and into which low-power …

We re-think DRAM power modes by modeling and characterizing inter-arrival times for
memory requests to determine the properties an ideal power mode should have. This …

Energy has become a first-class design constraint in computer systems. Memory is a
significant contributor to total system power. This paper introduces Flikker, an application …
