One Simple Trick for Improving the Performance of Energy-Limited Local Inference and Training

The paper proposes a simple technique of chunking workloads into smaller parts that alternate between compute-intensive and memory-bound operations to smooth power and temperature spikes in GPU systems. By doing so, it prevents throttling, leading to faster wall-clock times and lower total energy consumption. Experiments on a DGX Spark show up to 2% performance and energy gains, while similar benefits, though smaller, are observed on multi‑GPU servers.
