LLM-PowerTrace is an open dataset that provides time‑resolved, per‑GPU power traces for large language model fine‑tuning and inference. The traces are sampled every 100 ms across various NVIDIA platforms and include detailed workload and system metadata. The dataset covers a wide range of model families, sizes, and controlled sweeps over batch size, sequence length, precision, parallelism, checkpointing, concurrency, GPU frequency, KV‑cache and weight quantization, prompt and output lengths, and request‑arrival patterns, and it defines power‑grid‑facing metrics and an AI‑compute power & energy scaling law.

Large Language Model (LLM) inference workloads are a rapidly growing contributor to data center energy consumption. Optimizing these deployments requires matching specific LLMs to the most efficient GPUs, but operators currently lack the tools to do so without exhaustively profiling each combination.

The paper explores energy-aware knowledge distillation for large language models (LLMs) used in software engineering tasks such as clone detection, vulnerability prediction, and code summarization. It shows that the commonly used FLOPs metric does not reliably reflect actual energy consumption, and that using energy-surrogate models during distillation can reduce inference energy by up to 90% and memory usage by 86% with only modest accuracy loss. The study demonstrates that guiding distillation with direct energy estimates improves the sustainability and deployability of LLMs on consumer hardware.

The paper introduces the Power Flexibility Index (PFI) to measure how large language model (LLM) training performance changes when GPU power is reduced. Using 131 training runs on H200 and H100 GPUs, the study finds that LLM jobs have significant but variable power elasticity and identifies telemetry signals that can predict PFI during runtime. The authors demonstrate that allocating power based on PFI maximizes overall token throughput, recovering about 1.5k tokens/s per job under a 30% power reduction, which represents 63% of the gap between equal-weight and perfect-information allocations.
