Abstract :
The paper identifies four key themes that should be addressed to improve energy efficiency in data centers: These include understanding the newly emerging workload space to ensure proper matching of architecture design to application requirements; provisioning data center resources for predicted future workloads and applications, and improving the energy proportionality of individual machines to correlate power consumption to load; improving vertical integration within the software stacks of communication, storage, and runtime systems; and establishing standards for hardware and software communications to allow the integration of new technologies and component designs.
