Abstract
Idle power is a significant contributor to overall energy consumption in modern multi-core processors. Cores can enter a full-sleep state, also known as C6, to reduce idle power; however, entering C6 incurs performance and power overheads. Since power gating can result in negative savings, hardware vendors implement various algorithms to manage C6 entry. In this paper, we examine state-of-the-art C6 entry algorithms and present a comparative analysis in the context of consumer and CPU-GPU benchmarks.
