Energy-Efficient Data Centers
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Energy Efficient Data Centers, E2DC 2013, held in Berkeley, CA, USA, in May 2013; co-located with SIGCOMM e-Energy 2013. The 8 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on energy and workload measurement; energy management; simulators and control.
Energy Efficient Data Centers
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Workshop on Energy Efficient Data Centers (E2DC 2012) held in Madrid, Spain, in May 2012. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 32 submissions. The papers cover topics from information and communication technologies of green data centers to business models and GreenSLA solutions. The first section presents contributions in form of position and short papers, related to various European projects. The other two sections comprise papers with more in-depth technical details. The topics covered include energy-efficient data center management and service delivery as well as energy monitoring and optimization techniques for data centers.
A Cost Model for Expressing and Estimating Ecological Costs of Software-Driven Systems
The ecological footprint of our every day activities has become one of the greatest problems facing mankind today. Reducing the environmental footprint of IT, which has become a major contributor to green house gas emissions in the last decade, is therefore a major research challenge for both industry and academia. The focus of this book is to provide the foundation for expressing and estimating ecological costs of software systems in all life-cycle phases including the earliest phases of software development, thus helping all stakeholders make well-informed choices. In particular, common eco-cost drivers as well as new metrics are defined which allow meaningful and precise descriptions of e...
Grid Economics and Business Models
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Grid Economics and Business Models held in August 2007. The twelve full papers are organized into topical sections covering grid business modeling, market mechanisms for the grid, and economic grid service provisioning. The proceedings are rounded off by six project reports that give an overview of current and ongoing research in grid economics.
Grid Economics and Business Models
The Grid computing concept, which allows users to integrate administratively and g- graphically dispersed computing resources, has been gaining traction in a number of application areas during the past few years. By interconnecting many – heterogeneous, though usually virtualized – computing resources, virtual computer centers or superc- puters can be created, providing a seamless supply of computing resources. Grid comp- ing provides benefits not only for scientific computing (e.g., SETI@home, which interconnects one million computers across 226 countries with a total processing power of 711 TFLOPS) but also in a commercial environment. It is projected that computing Grids can lower the...
Digital Business
This volume contains the proceedings of the First International ICST Conference on Digital Business (DigiBiz 2009), hosted by City University London in London, UK. This annual event had the main objective to stimulate and disseminate research results and experimentation on future Digital Business to a wider multidisciplinary forum that would allow the participants to cross the boundaries between research and business. The scientific offering in e-business, e-commerce, and ICT in general is quite broad and spans many different research themes, involving several communities and me- odologies. The growth and dynamic nature of these research themes pose both ch- lenges and opportunities. The challenges are in having scientists and practitioners talk to each other: despite the fact that they work on similar problems they often use very different languages in terms of research tools and approaches. The opportunities on the other hand arise when scientists and practitioners engage in multidisciplinary d- cussions leading to new ideas, projects and products.
Evaluating Demand Response Opportunities for Data Centers
Data center demand response is a solution to a problem that is just recently emerging: Today’s energy system is undergoing major transformations due to the increasing shares of intermittent renewable power sources as solar and wind. As the power grid physically requires balancing power feed-in and power draw at all times, traditionally, power generation plants with short ramp-up times were activated to avoid grid imbalances. Additionally, so-called demand response schemes may incentivize power consumers to manipulate their planned power profile in order to activate hidden sources of flexibility. The data center industry has been identified as a suitable candidate for demand response as it ...
High Performance Computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 31st International Conference, ISC High Performance 2016 [formerly known as the International Supercomputing Conference] held in Frankfurt, Germany, in June 2016. The 25 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: Autotuning and Thread Mapping; Data Locality and Decomposition; Scalable Applications; Machine Learning; Datacenters andCloud; Communication Runtime; Intel Xeon Phi; Manycore Architectures; Extreme-scale Computations; and Resilience.
Smart Cities, Green Technologies, and Intelligent Transport Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT Systems, SMARTGREENS 2015, and the 1st International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems, VEHITS 2015, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in May 2015. The 15 full papers of SMARTGREENS 2015 presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. VEHITS 2015 received 27 paper submissions from which 3 papers were selected and published in this book. The papers reflect topics such as smart cities, energy-aware systems and technologies, sustainable computing and communications, sustainable transportation and smart mobility.
