Good evening, and welcome to the new year everyone!
After getting settled this past week for the new semester, Stephanie and I have begun to start working towards our end goal of modeling the power consumption of GPUs. Our current task is to create a bash script that runs through our 3 separate PERL parsing scripts and joins the files into an Excel file, as well as cleaning up our file names in the log database that is quite large.
Unfortunately, we also discovered a slight issue towards the end of our work last semester. For the sake of efficiency, we opted to run our benchmark programs on one CPU, and parse the data on another. In doing so, the CPU timestamps have seemingly drifted apart during longer benchmark runs. Thus, our main concern is alleviating this issue as soon as possible in order to be able to accurately parse our data in the future.
Lastly, we are quite excited to be gearing up to attend the 2011 Tapia Conference! We will be spending 3 days in San Francisco with other CREU recipients from around the country and meeting with some of the industry's leading innovators!
With all of this exciting potential this semester, we will hopefully be updating you with great news as the days progress. With that being said - Stay tuned!
