Abstract:The common practice for quantifying the benefit(s) of design-time architectural choices of server processors is often limited to the chip-or server-level. This quantification process invariably entails the use of salient metrics, such as performance, power, and reliability, which capture -in a tangible manner -a designs overall ramifications. This paper argues for the necessity of a more holistic evaluation approach, which considers metrics across multiple integration levels (chip, server and datacenter). In o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
