Confused. According to the above table, at I=16 the EP machine saved 0
watts. Typo in the data?
Also, that's a pretty narrow test - it's doing fork and exec at very
high frequency and things such as task placement decisions at process
startup might be affecting the results. Also, the load will be quite
kernel-intensive, as opposed to the more typical userspace-intensive
loads.
So, please run a broader set of tests so we can see the effects?
