What Analysts Are Saying
“SWaP is an objective “Benchmarking the energy three-dimensional metric efficiency of IT systems can that provides a more help customers make better comprehensive and purchasing decisions when realistic way to assess considering the trade-off today’s servers.” between the need for greater
performance and the rising t of l tatcos energy and rea es e.”

Is this just marketing ?
• Sun Engineers are finding this is useful too • We're using SWaP to evaluate future systems• One caveat is that in some cases data centers are
limited by Watts/sq. ft.

------------------
SWaP in a power limited environment• SWaP is still applicable • Need to calculate SWaP with a set power limit per sq. ft. of
floor space> Convenient to translate to a power/rack
• Space becomes the effective RU taken by the servers including white space
• If both servers in a comparison are limited by power and not by the size then SWaP just becomes a measure of
Performance

Methodology for Power-Performance• Variation of Performance Benchmark Load > Typical benchmark has ramp-up, steady-state, ramp-down phases > Some benchmarks (i.e. SPECcpu2000, SPECweb2005) consist of a
variety of sub tests with different subsystem loading. > Even monolithic benchmarks vary subsystem loading during steady-
state > Variation in subsystem loading -> variation in power consumption
• Measure average power consumption during benchmarksteady-state> Do not include power measurements during ramp up/down> This is a good enough definition to get started however need to make
the start and stop points explicit points in the benchmark to make the rules unambiguous

Power Efficiency Benchmarking• Avoid unnecessary complexity> Generally the power consumption doesn't vary too much by
the exact workload • We propose picking one widely used benchmark for each of the
major type of computation • Four key application areas > Web Tier Servers e.g. SPECweb2005 > Application Tier Servers: e.g. SPECjbb2005 > Database Tier Servers > High performance computing (HPC)
• Power efficiency defined as the average performance/watt over the steady state execution of the benchmark

The Standard Benchmark Rules• Only published results on the benchmark
organizations web site will be allowed• Power should be measured on the exact benchmark
configuration. • Power is only for the system under test and not
associated hardware required for benchmarking • Power is the average server power consumption
during the active part of the benchmark • Benchmarks that most closely resembles the
customer workload should be used

Conclusion
• SWaP is a useful metric for comparing power and space efficiency of servers • Works in power constrained and unconstrained
situations • Need consistent standards for Watts & Performance• Efforts are just starting in Spec.org & other industry
forums to set rules for power benchmarking
