Next, power savings is considered. Though it is possible to bias a reactive DVFS<br />

algorithm to achieve per<strong>for</strong>mance comparable to a predictive algorithm, it is not possible<br />

to do so without increasing power consumption drastically. Prediction allows DVFS<br />

selection to select the “correct” frequency <strong>for</strong> both per<strong>for</strong>mance and power savings.<br />
