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

A highly accessible reference offering a broad range of topics and insights on large scale network-centric distributed systems Evolving from the fields of high-performance computing and networking, large scale network-centric distributed systems continues to grow as one of the most important topics in computing and communication and many interdisciplinary areas. Dealing with both wired and wireless networks, this book focuses on the design and performance issues of such systems. Large Scale Network-Centric Distributed Systems provides in-depth coverage ranging from ground-level hardware issues (such as buffer organization, router delay, and flow control) to the high-level issues immediately concerning application or system users (including parallel programming, middleware, and OS support for such computing systems). Arranged in five parts, it explains and analyzes complex topics to an unprecedented degree: Part 1: Multicore and Many-Core (Mc) Systems-on-Chip Part 2: Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing and Peer-to-Peer Systems Part 3: Wireless/Mobile Networks Part 4: Grid and Cloud Computing Part 5: Other Topics Related to Network-Centric Computing and Its Applications Large Scale Network-Centric Distributed Systems is an incredibly useful resource for practitioners, postgraduate students, postdocs, and researchers.

With the breakdown of Dennard Scaling and Moore's law, power consumption appears to be a primary challenge on the pathway to exascale computing. Extreme Scale Research reports indicate the energy consumption during movement of data off-chip is orders of magnitude higher than within a chip. The direct outcome of this has been a rising concern about the energy and power consumption of large-scale applications that rely on various communication libraries and parallelism constructs for distributed computing. While innovative designs of hardware set the upper bounds for power consumption, there is a need for the software to adapt itself to achieve maximum efficiency at minimal joules. This work presents detailed analyses of multiple factors within the software stack, that affect the energy consumption of large scale distributed memory HPC applications and programming environments. As part of this empirical analyses, we isolate multiple constraints imposed by the communication, memory, and the execution model that affect energy profiles of such applications. With regards to the communication model, empirical analyses in this thesis reveals significant impact due to constraints like the size of the data payload being transferred, the number of data fragments, the overhead of memory management, the use of additional OS threads, as well as the hardware design of the underlying processor. Additional software design characteristics that have been shown to have a significant impact on communication-intensive kernels include -- the design of remote data-access patterns (greater than 40\% energy savings), the transport layer protocols (25X improvement in bytes/joules) as well as the choice of the interconnect (760X improvement in bytes/joules). This dissertation also revisits a two-decade-old programming paradigm - Active Messages, and presents empirical evidence that suggests that integrating it within current SPMD execution models leads to significant performance and energy efficiency. It is hoped that the work presented in this literature paves the way for taking software design into consideration while designing current and future large-scale energy-efficient systems operating within a power budget.

Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, grade: keine, , language: English, abstract: According to the estimations the level of carbon emission in the sector of information and communication technologies triples by 2020 . This raised concern regarding the energy efficiency of the ICT devices and systems. Further we will discuss the guidelines and directives along which we can differentiate between technologies and their efficiency-level. These guidelines not only enable the customer of these services to attain a simple and easily manageable view on his consumption as technology user, but it also provides an evaluation system for local governmental and international regulators and projects. Then we examine the problem of energy efficiency in a specific field of the ICT, the server grids, as the demand for the services of this area is one of the fastest growing sections of the ICT sector. Than we rule out two possible ways of solving energy efficiency on the grids, and compare them. Finally in the conclusion we point out the main factors that make these solutions successful, and to which extent they match to our guidelines.

Over the past few years, the energy consumption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has become a major issue. Nowadays, ICT accounts for 2% of the global CO2 emissions, an amount similar to that produced by the aviation industry. Large-scale distributed systems (e.g. Grids, Clouds and high-performance networks) are often heavy electricity consumers because -- for high-availability requirements -- their resources are always powered on even when they are not in use. Reservation-based systems guarantee quality of service, allow for respect of user constraints and enable fine-grained resource management. For these reasons, we propose an energy-efficient reservation framework to reduce the electric consumption of distributed systems and dedicated networks. The framework, called ERIDIS, is adapted to three different systems: data centers and grids, cloud environments and dedicated wired networks. By validating each derived infrastructure, we show that significant amounts of energy can be saved using ERIDIS in current and future large-scale distributed systems.

Global digital transformation requires more productive large-scale distributed systems. Such systems should meet lots of requirements, such as high availability, low latency and reliability. However, new challenges become more and more important nowadays. One of them is energy efficiency of large-scale computing systems. Many service providers prefer to use cheap commodity servers in their distributed infrastructure, which makes the problem of energy efficiency even harder because of hardware inhomogeneity. In this chapter an approach to finding balance between performance and energy efficiency requirements within inhomogeneous distributed computing environment is proposed. The main idea of the proposed approach is to use each node,Äôs individual energy consumption models in order to generate distributed system scaling patterns based on the statistical daily workload and then adjust these patterns to match the current workload while using energy-aware Power Consumption and Performance Balance (PCPB) scheduling algorithm. An approach is tested using Matlab modeling. As a result of applying the proposed approach, large-scale distributed computing systems save energy while maintaining a fairly high level of performance and meeting the requirements of the service-level agreement (SLA).
