- 电源管理方面的研究目前受到限制，因为公司没有发布足够的文档或接口来充分利用现代处理器中的潜力。这个问题在GPU中更加突出，尽管GPU在当今的处理器中具有最高的性能功耗比。本文概述了通过逆向工程发现的现代NVIDIA GPU的电源管理功能。本文最后讨论了在NVIDIA GPU上实现自主管理的可能性，并讨论了研究人员在研究和改进自主系统方面将面临的未来挑战。
—Research in power management is currently limited by the fact that companies do not release enough documentation or interfaces to fully exploit the potential found in modern processors. This problem is even more present in GPUs despite having the highest performance-per-Watt ratio found in today’s processors. This paper presents an overview of the power management features of modern NVIDIA GPUs that have been found through reverse engineering. The paper finally discusses about the possibility of achieving self-management on NVIDIA GPUs and also discusses the future challenges that will be faced by researchers to study and improve on autonomic systems.
