Green Grids 20091st International ICST Workshop on Green Grids, collocated with GridNets 2009,Athens, Greece, 8 September 2009Motivation and rationale for the workshopICT provides many energy-saving solutions, but is also responsible for a considerable and quickly increasing energy footprint on its own. Recent surveys estimate that the complete life cycle of ICT equipment today is responsible for about 4% of the worldwide primary energy consumption. This percentage is expected to double within 10-15 years, if current ICT energy trends are not drastically deviated. Due to these forecasts, the awareness for ICT energy reducing research is rising steeply in the community. Scope of the workshop:This workshop aims at investigating the opportunities and challenges offered by and within Grid deployments to reduce energy consumption. For instance, it may be argued that by aggregating computational and storage capacity, statistical multiplexing advantages allow for a lower total operational capacity (and hence energy consumption) than by distributing it over multiple independent smaller sized clusters. Within a Grid site, dynamic schemes to control the state of the servers (e.g. sleeping/standby versus fully powered) and interconnecting network infrastructure can be deployed to limit power consumption. Appropriate scheduling algorithms could be devised to maximize power saving opportunities.Note that we do not only sollicit pure Grids-oriented research papers: also more general work focusing on parts/subsystems thereof is very much welcome (e.g. energy consumption - and means to reduce it - of networks, servers, HPC centers, etc.). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
