Congratulations to Indrani Paul on successfully defending her thesis “Cooperative Power Management in Heterogeneous Processors”!

Indrani Paul successfully defended her thesis on Mar 23, 2015. Congratulations Dr. Paul!

The high-level contributions of Indrani’s thesis “Coordinated Power Management in Heterogeneous Processors” are i) in-depth examination of characteristics and performance demands of emerging applications using hardware measurements and analysis from state-of-the-art heterogeneous processors and high-performance GPUs, ii) analysis of the effects of processor physics such as power and thermals on system level performance, iii) identification of a key set of run-time metrics that can be used to manage these effects, and iv) development and detailed evaluation of online coordinated power management techniques to optimize system level global metrics in heterogeneous CPU-GPU-memory processors.
