 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

This COST Action will propose realistic energy-efficient alternate solutions to share IT distributed resources. As large scale distributed systems gather and share more and more computing nodes and Storage resources, their energy consumption is exponentially increasing. While much effort is nowadays put into hardware specific solutions to lower energy consumptions, the need for a complementary approach is necessary at the distributed system level, i.e. middleware, network and applications. The Action will characterize the energy consumption and energy efficiencies of distributed applications.

GIT/DICOM leads actually Working Group 2: Characterization of energy consumption and energy efficiency. This Working Group will find appropriate definitions for energy efficiency and investigate the energy consumption and efficiency for system components (like routers, PCs, clusters, servers) to the whole distributed systems (taking into account the potential influence of one part to another).
