Power Optimization and Self-Tuning

April 28, 2010 | Rahul Khanna and Mohan J. Kumar
Power Optimization and Self-Tuning
Power optimization and power control are important and challenging issues for server computer systems. A system can be represented as a set of components whose cooperative interaction produces useful work. These components may be heterogeneous in nature and may vary in the power consumption and power control mechanisms. Server system components may coordinate power control actions using embedded controllers or special hardware. Generally, it is efficient to host monitoring and control functions to an out-of-band (OOB) controller. This avoids any side effects due to unavailability of the in-band controller or loading conditions that may themselves change the system properties. Learn more in this technical article.

READER OFFER

The Spartan-6 FPGA embedded kit offered by Xilinx in this month's reader offer is based on the company's Spartan-6 LX45T FPGA. It contains an extensible development board and the key tools and IP needed for embedded development.

The reference designs and software/hardware tutorials provided with this kit will give a jump-start to your development. The package worth 735 Euros includes a ROHS compliant SP605 base board including the XC6SLX45T-FGG484 -3 FPGA, the ISE Design Suite device-locked for the Spartan-6 LX45T FPGA and numerous other tools.

READER OFFER

This month, Xilinx is giving away one such kit, worth 735 Euros, for EETimes Europe's readers to win.

And the winners are...

In our previous reader offer, Cypress was giving away three PsoC3 development boards, worth USD 249 each.

Lucky winners include Mr. M. Casartelli from Italy, Mr J. Pirkin from Belgium and Mr. L. Vagasi from Hungary. All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
