Fulcrum: Power Scheduling for Maximizing Throughput and Fairness in Co-running Applications (Artifact)

Artifact Evaluation Instructions

Fulcrum was evaluated on quad-socket Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold Cooperlake 5318H processor, which has 18 cores per socket (totalling 72 cores) with a total of 512 GB of RAM. The operating system (OS) was Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS. We used OpenMP supported by the gcc compiler version 10.3. We used -O3 flag with the compiler. To reproduce the results presented in the paper, it is recommended to use a four-socket machine with a similar configuration. While the artifact can run on a two-socket system, the reproduced results may differ from those reported in the paper.
