1 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Industrial Doctorates position on Energy-Efficiency of cloud computing systems in Greece | Singular Logic

Energy consumption attributable to IT systems is significant and increasing at an alarming rate. Decades of resource-agnostic development of software systems have contributed to this trend. Ongoing improvements of energy-efficiency at the hardware and datacenter level threaten to be cancelled out by wasteful software. Cloud computing has been identified as a development that may help to curb this trend, but naive use of cloud infrastructures may actually have the opposite effect, for instance due to increased data traffic, insufficient elasticity, or additional virtualisation layers. The aim of this research is to provide software engineers with techniques to measure energy consumption, identify energy leaks, and optimise consumption without compromising competing quality attributes such as performance and reliability. These techniques enable the cloud to realise its energy-saving potential.
