Abstract

Throughout this book  we conduct several experimental evaluations based on a common simulation framework. The framework has two modes: (1) a detailed mode for evaluations requiring detailed transient temperature information and a runtime feedback loop, mostly used for evaluating performance optimization techniques; and (2) a high-level mode that does not include the runtime feedback loop, but which may simulate a very large number of applications, mostly used for evaluating energy optimization techniques.
