Controller system A computer or computer server that manages a benchmark evaluation process. The controller system performs the following functions: start and stop each segment (phase) of the performance benchmark; control the workload demands of the performance benchmark; start and stop data collection from the power analyzer so that power and performance data from each phase can be correlated; store log files containing benchmark power and performance information; convert raw data into a suitable format for benchmark reporting, submission and validation; and collect and store environmental data, if automated for the benchmark. None
Hypervisor A type of hardware virtualization technique that enables multiple guest operating systems to run on a single host system at the same time. None
