Abstract :
A new framework automatically generates full-system multicore powermarks, or synthetic programs with desired power characteristics on multicore server platforms. The framework constructs full-system power models with error bounds on the power estimates and guides the design of energy-efficient and cost-efficient server and data center infrastructures.
