How GPU Frequency, Power Consumption, and FLOPS Interrelate

The article explains the theoretical and practical relationships between GPU clock frequencies, power consumption, and FLOPS, describes key hardware metrics such as SM, memory, and video clocks, shows how to query and set these values with nvidia‑smi, and presents experiments on a Tesla P4 that reveal the non‑linear trade‑offs between performance, power, and temperature.
