Power management solutions for computer systems and datacenters

Abstract

The growing power and cooling requirements of high-density computing systems pose significant challenges for the design and operation of computers and their facilities. The rising operating expenses for datacenters demand the implementation of energy-efficient technologies and the best power management solutions. This tutorial addresses power management and cooling solutions from the individual computer system level to the datacenter. The audience will learn about the fundamental nature of the problems, approaches to developing solutions, available commercial solutions, and current research directions.
