The Illusion of Power Capping in LLM Decode: A Phase-Aware Energy Characterisation Across Attention Architectures
Power capping is illusory in LLM decode as memory-bound operation leaves power headroom untouched on 700 W GPUs, while SM clock locking saves up to 32% energy and three DVFS classes appear across attention types.
