GreenCom 2010 - The Second International Workshop on Green Computing GreenCom '10

Scope and content

Current trends in data center growth show a rapid increase in both computing and storage capacity. Moreover, technological trends increase both the operating frequency and the power density. All these factors combined yield an exponential increase in power needs of data centers?as evidenced by recent placement of mega data centers by companies near sources of cheap and abundant surplus power. However, the enormously increasing needs in power is clearly not sustainable and has already started clashing with the power limitations of many data centers, the increasing cost of power and the recent legislative efforts that press for greener data centers. Challenges that arise interest various computing disciplines, including high-performance computing, enterprise computing, autonomic computing, proactive methods and sustainable computing. This workshop aims to bring researchers and experts from both the industry and the academia with knowledge and innovative ideas to spark further cooperation amongst them.
