High-performance computing platforms

TL;DR: This paper proposes a simple model of job scheduling aimed at capturing some key aspects of energy minimization, and gives an off-line algorithm that computes, for any set of jobs, a minimum-energy schedule.

TL;DR: The authors present a compile-time scheduling heuristic called dynamic level scheduling, which accounts for interprocessor communication overhead when mapping precedence-constrained, communicating tasks onto heterogeneous processor architectures with limited or possibly irregular interconnection structures.

TL;DR: This paper evaluates five policies for cluster-wide power management in server farms that employ various combinations of dynamic voltage scaling and node vary-on/vary-off (VOVO) to reduce the aggregate power consumption of a server cluster during periods of reduced workload.

TL;DR: Different approaches are presented and organized in an order related to their applicability to control-units, macro-blocks, digital circuits and electronic systems, respectively based on the principle of exploiting idleness of circuits, systems, or portions thereof.
