Energy Efficient Distributed Computing Systems (Hardcover)

The energy consumption issue in distributed computing systems raises various monetary, environmental and system performance concerns. Electricity consumption in the US doubled from 2000 to 2005.  From a financial and environmental standpoint, reducing the consumption of electricity is important, yet these reforms must not lead to performance degradation of the computing systems.  These contradicting constraints create a suite of complex problems that need to be resolved in order to lead to 'greener' distributed computing systems.  This book brings together a group of outstanding researchers that investigate the different facets of green and energy efficient distributed computing.

Key features:

• One of the first books of its kind
• Features latest research findings on emerging topics by well-known scientists
• Valuable research for grad students, postdocs, and researchers
• Research will greatly feed into other technologies and application domains

分散式計算系統中的能源消耗問題引起了各種金融、環境和系統性能方面的關注。美國的電力消耗從2000年到2005年翻了一番。從財務和環境的角度來看，減少電力消耗非常重要，但這些改革不能導致計算系統的性能下降。這些相互矛盾的限制條件產生了一系列需要解決的複雜問題，以實現更環保的分散式計算系統。本書匯集了一群優秀的研究人員，他們研究了綠色和節能的分散式計算的不同方面。
