While Vince will be leaving the project I'll be staying on for the summer (sadly not graduating until next semester). After a brief hiatus to marathon through finals I'll be resuming work on the project for the summer. This time however besides a change in personnel there will also be a change with me moving from part time (10 hours week) to full time (40 hours per week) which will be an exciting way to experience at how graduate students conduct their research.
Tentative result from one of the machines used to record measurements show not a lot of difference predicting FDTD3d power vs. specjbb (two benchmarks being used to stress the power consumption of the GPU and CPU's). If these results hold for the next sets of analysis on most/all frequencies I'll look at potentially installing some more GPU and CPU-intensive benchmarks. Adding benchmarks could help aid the understanding what about the model is good and bad at in more detail.
In addition to analysis, more data collecting and benchmark experimentation I'll also be looking to improve some of the existing code. A busy summer indeed!
