Abstract

Fueled by burgeoning online services, energy consumption in information technology (IT) equipment is becoming a major concern from a variety of perspectives including the continuation of Moore's Law for hardware design, enabling sophisticated mobile client functionality, mounting utility costs in data centers, and increasing CO2 emissions associated with IT manufacturing, distribution, usage and disposal. This article discusses an approach where energy consumption and related issues of heat dissipation and sustainability are considered as the primary concerns that drive the way computation and communication is organized at both clients and servers. This article describes the challenges in supporting such a distributed energy adaptive computing paradigm.
