A Retrospective Look Back on the Road Towards Energy Proportionality

In this paper, we take a retrospective look back at the road taken towards improving energy proportionality, in order to find out where we are currently, and how we got here. Through statistical regression of published SPEC power results, were able to identify and quantify the sources of past EP improvements.
