Benchmarking Energy and Performance of Parallel Machine Learning Models Using Hardware and Software Power Meters
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The growing reliance on machine learning algorithms across domains such as healthcare, transportation, and finance has led to their increased deployment on high-performance computing platforms. While performance optimization remains a central concern, energy efficiency is emerging as a critical design consideration, particularly in light of global sustainability goals. This study presents a comparative analysis of the energy consumption and performance of serial and parallel implementations of four machine learning algorithms, K-means clustering, Ant Colony Optimization, Logistic Regression, and Random Search. Experiments were conducted on an HPC testbed using both hardware-based and software-based power meters to measure energy consumption. The results demonstrate that parallel implementations not only achieve substantial reductions in execution time but also lead to lower overall energy consumption compared to their serial counterparts.
