Green Computing Challenges
 Demand for computing capability only growing => Peta->Exa, Ubiquitous computing,
Clouds
•
Energy cost rivals IT equipment cost
•
Server energy expense grew 31% over last five years
 Challenge to lower power but maintain reliable operations
•
CMOS scaling limitations
•
Availability vs Efficiency
 Productivity vs Efficiency
•
Software bloat – modularity for rapid development over efficiency
•
Loss of insight into physical resource usage
 Barriers to new technology adoption
•
Widespread deployment of and dependence on current technologies
•
Cost of technology development - fewer players with consolidation?
 Challenge to utilize renewable energy sources to power IT
•
Variability in energy availability and energy storage technology limitations
•
Inefficiencies in and higher cost of renewable energy production
