Abstract

Power-aware and thermal-aware techniques such as power-throttling and workload manipulation have been developed to counter the increasing power density in the current data centers. The basis for any such power-aware and/or thermal-aware technique, however, depends heavily on the equipment’s power consumption model assumed. The goal of this paper is to perform power-profiling of different systems— namely, the Dell PowerEdge 1855 and 1955’based on actual power measurements. Gamut (Generic Application eMUlaTor) benchmark [1], double-precision matrix multiplication, and convolution of two vectors are used for varying the CPU utilization and Disk I/O.
