dc.description.abstractSpeed scaling policies are a critical component in modern operating systems, impacting both energy efficiency and performance. Energy efficiency is important from a sustainability standpoint, especially since datacenters account for roughly 2% of the global energy consumption, growing by 6% per year. Understanding the features of modern processors facilitates the development of more effective policies. As a first contribution, this thesis provides such information, along with the details necessary to properly interpret experimental measurement results. The second contribution is a profiler that makes it easy to perform controlled workloads made up of precise units of work at defined speeds, and produces high-resolution timing and energy measurement data broken down by process and workload. The profiler is used to collect empirical data about several theoretical speed scaling policies using a modern processor, with detailed analysis and comparisons to the most common policy on contemporary operating systems.en_US
