Figure 1.1 The rate at which instructions are retired is the same in these two cases, but the power is much less with two cores running at half the frequency of a single core 5
Figure 1.2 A plot of peak performance versus power at the thermal design point for three processors produced on a 65nm process technology. Note: This is not to say that one processor is better or worse than the others. The point is that the more specialized the core, the more power-efficient it is 6
Figure 1.3 Block diagram of a modern desktop PC with multiple CPUs (potentially different) and a GPU, demonstrating that systems today are frequently heterogeneous 7
Figure 1.4 A simple example of data parallelism where a single task is applied concurrently to each ...
