A Scheduling Model for Reduced CPU Energy Frances Yao Alan Demers Scott Shenker Xerox Palo Alto Research Center 3333 Coyote Hill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 {yao, demers, shenker}@ (extended abstract) Abstract power. For such devices, the power consumption of the CPU itself becomes significant. This fact is important The energy usage of computer systems is becom- because there are energy conservation techniques for ing an important consideration, especially for battery- CPUs that do considerably better than simply turn- operated systems. Various methods for reducing en- ing off the device during its “idle loop”. In particular, ergy consumption have been investigated, both at the CPU circuitry can be designed so that slower clock circuit level and at the operating systems level. In this speeds use lower supply voltage, thus resulting in lower paper, we propose a simple model of job scheduling energy consumption per instruction (see [1,2,4,7] for aim
