Mike Nikolaiev, chairman of TPC’s Energy Subcommittee, discusses TPC’s initiative on energy efficiency. The TPC Energy Subcommittee is developing methodology to add energy metrics to all existing TPC benchmarks. This will utilize the existing TPC benchmarks as the workload, and during the running of the benchmarks, measure the energy being consumed by the System Under Test. The new metrics will be of the form: Watts/Performance.
