Abstract
To improve the power consumption of parallel applications at the runtime, modern processors provide frequency scaling and power limiting capabilities. In this work, a runtime strategy is proposed to distribute a given power allocation among the cluster nodes assigned to the application while balancing their performance change. The strategy operates in a timeslice-based manner to estimate the current application performance and power usage per node followed by power redistribution across the nodes. Experiments, performed on four nodes (112 cores) of a modern computing platform interconnected with Infiniband showed that even a significant power budget reduction of 20% may result in a performance degradation of as low as 1% under the proposed strategy compared with the execution in the unlimited power case
