Switching Overhead
- Johan De Gelas. Dynamic Power Management: A Quantitative Approach. Online: AnandTech.com. January 18, 2010.
- -Xeon C-state transition times
- -P-state frequency example, (10 133MHz steps from 1.2GHz to 2.53Ghz)
- -"On dual-core Athlon X2 and Phenom I, it was for example impossible to use DVFS and get decent HD-video decoding. There are three important performance problems with dynamic power management:
- Transitioning from one P-state to another takes a while, especially if you scale up. Active cores will probe idle or lower P-state cores quite frequently. The OS power manager has to predict whether or not the process will need more processing power soon or not. As a result the OS transitions a lot slower than the hardware."
