TL;DR
Researchers and system designers need benchmarks that characterize energy efficiency to evaluate systems and identify promising new technologies and to predict the effects of new designs and configurations, and need accurate methods of modeling power consumption.
Abstract
Power consumption and energy efficiency are important factors in the initial design and day-to-day management of computer systems. Researchers and system designers need benchmarks that characterize energy efficiency to evaluate systems and identify promising new technologies. To predict the effects of new designs and configurations, they also need accurate methods of modeling power consumption.

HotSpot is described, an accurate yet fast and practical model based on an equivalent circuit of thermal resistances and capacitances that correspond to microarchitecture blocks and essential aspects of the thermal package that shows that power metrics are poor predictors of temperature, that sensor imprecision has a substantial impact on the performance of DTM, and that the inclusion of lateral resistances for thermal diffusion is important for accuracy.

This paper designs a cooperative Web server for a heterogeneous cluster that uses modeling and optimization to minimize the energy consumed per request, and shows that the server can consume 42% less energy than an energy-oblivious server, with only a negligible loss in throughput.
Power prediction for intel XScale® processors using performance monitoring unit events
291 Citations2005Gilberto Contreras, Margaret Martonosi
A first-order, linear power estimation model that uses performance counters to estimate run-time CPU and memory power consumption of the Intel PXA255 processor that can serve as a foundation for intelligent, power-aware embedded systems that dynamically adapt to the device's power consumption is demonstrated.
JouleSort

This work proposes and motivate JouleSort, an external sort benchmark, for evaluating the energy efficiency of a wide range of computer systems from clusters to handhelds, and demonstrates a Joule sort system that is over 3.5x as energy-efficient as last year's estimated winner.
Using complete machine simulation for software power estimation: the SoftWatt approach
196 Citations2002Sudhanva Gurumurthi, Anand Sivasubramaniam +3 more
A complete system power simulator, called SoftWatt, is presented that models the CPU, memory hierarchy, and a low-power disk subsystem and quantifies the power behavior of both the application and operating system.

90 Citations2005Robert N. Mayo, Parthasarathy Ranganathan
It is argued that in order to achieve longer battery life, systems should be designed to include requirements-aware energy scale-down techniques, which would allow a general- Purpose device to use hardware mechanisms and software policies to adapt energy use to the user's requirements for the task at hand, potentially approaching the low energy use of a special-purpose device.
