Abstract

Performance and total cost of ownership (TCO) are key optimization metrics in large-scale data centers. According to these metrics, data centers designed with conventional server processors are inefficient. Recently introduced processors based on low-power cores can improve both throughput and energy efficiency compared to conventional server chips. However, a specialized Scale-Out Processor (SOP) architecture maximizes on-chip computing density to deliver the highest performance per TCO and performance per watt at the data-center level.

DATE '13: Proceedings of the Conference on Design, Automation and Test in Europe

Information technology is now an indispensable pillar of a modern day society. CMOS technologies, which lay the foundation for all digital platforms, however, are experiencing a major inflection point due to a slowdown in voltage scaling. The net result ...
Server consolidation with migration control for virtualized data centers

Virtualization has become a key technology for simplifying service management and reducing energy costs in data centers. One of the challenges faced by data centers is to decide when, how, and which virtual machines (VMs) have to be consolidated into a ...
