Controlling power usage has become a core objective in modern computing platforms. In this article we present an innovative Time Warp architecture oriented to efficiently run parallel simulations under a power cap. Our architectural organization considers power usage as a foundational design principle, as opposed to classical power-unaware Time Warp design. We provide early experimental results showing the potential of our proposal.

ulti-threaded applications facilitate the exploitation of the computing power of multicore architectures. On the other hand, these applications can become extremely energy-intensive, in contrast with the need for limiting the energy usage of computing systems.
