Clockmoth Finds the Useful Operating Point
A local browser lab for tuning clock speed, power budget, and cooling in a transparent compute model.
Field notes
Clockmoth runs a deterministic browser simulation in which clock frequency, power budget, and cooling effort interact across sixty one-second steps. The page exposes formulas for demand, throttling, temperature, stability, work, and energy, while saved runs remain in the browser and can be exported as JSON. Three challenges are available: Throughput trial, Thermal hold, and Efficiency budget. Planned scenario packs, recipes, and team tools are clearly separated from the current local lab.
