在许多移动和嵌入式环境中，力量已经成为领先的设计约束。本文认为，功率也将是通用高性能计算机的限制因素。因此，应将其视为与性能相同的“头等舱”设计约束。这种观点的推论是，必须在设计周期的早期考虑建筑设计决策对功耗的影响 - 同时考虑了它们的性能影响。在本文中，我们总结了控制力量和性能的关键方程式，并使用它们来说明一些简单的建筑思想以节省动力。然后，本文提出了两个对比的研究方向，其中权力很重要。最后，我们讨论了对建筑权力折衷进行研究所需的工具。
In many mobile and embedded environments power is already the leading design constraint. This paper argues that power will also be a limiting factor in general purpose high-performance computers too. It should therefore be considered a "first class" design constraint on a par with performance. A corollary of this view is that the impact of architectural design decisions on power consumption must be considered early in the design cycle -- at the same time that their performance impact is considered. In this paper we summarize the key equations governing power and performance, and use them to illustrate some simple architectural ideas for power savings. The paper then presents two contrasting research directions where power is important. We conclude with a discussion of the tools needed to conduct research into architecture-power trade-offs.
