Sandy Bridge power managment

[BWang41]

Hello,

i want to know how does a Sandy-Bridge processor manage its power consumption. Can you recommend some papers about that?

And i want to save energy from the CPU. As i know, one can use DVFS to save energy. Are there any other technologies to do the same thing and they must can be controlled by the usual user.

Regards,

Bo
