A classifier using NVML telemetry identifies ML training workloads at 98.2% accuracy and retains 43-87% accuracy against the strongest tested adversarial evasions across 9 GPUs and 5 iteration rounds.
nvPAX is a three-phase hybrid QP/LP policy that allocates power in hierarchical multi-tenant datacenters to achieve 98.92% mean satisfaction ratio on production GPU traces while outperforming static and greedy baselines.
CompPow makes the case that component-aware power management inside GPUs can yield 10% higher energy efficiency and 5% better performance for ML workloads.
