MAIN MEMORY ACCOUNTS FOR A GROWING FRACTION OF SERVER ENERGY USAGE. INVESTIGATING ACTIVE LOW-POWER MODES FOR MANAGING MAIN MEMORY, WITH A SYSTEM CALLED MEMSCALE, THE AUTHORS OFFER A SOLUTION FOR PERFORMANCE-AWARE ENERGY MANAGEMENT. BY CREATING A SET OF LOW-POWER MODES, HARDWARE MECHANISMS AND SOFTWARE POLICIES, MEMSCALE TRADES MEMORY BANDWIDTH FOR ENERGY SAVINGS WHILE TIGHTLY LIMITING THE ASSOCIATED PERFORMANCE IMPACT.
