Although high-performance computing traditionally focuses on the efficient execution of
large-scale applications, power consumption is going to become a critical design constraint
for exascale systems. Drastic increases in the power consumption of supercomputers affect
significantly their operating costs and failure rates. In modern microprocessor architectures,
equipped with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) and CPU clock modulation
(throttling), the power consumption may be controlled in software. Additionally, network …
