M.S. Paper Title: A Statistical Approach for Minimizing Energy Under
Performance Constraints

Abstract:
We explore the problem of minimizing the energy consumed by a new
application subject to some power constraint; e.g., real-time or
quality-of-service requirement. Specifically, we study the problem of
online identification of power and performance tradeoffs. We compare
our results to the previous works which involves the convex
optimization techniques and the optimal online approach which does an
online profiling of the applications. In this work, we present an
online adaptive learning algorithm for the identification of the
Pareto optimal frontier of power and performance. We use a
hierarchical Bayesian network to model this problem which essentially
strengthens the estimators of power/performance of other application
by using the data from applications.

Nikita's advisor is Prof. John Lafferty
