Pathways to servers of the future

The Special Session on “Pathways to Servers of the Future” outlines a new research program set up at Technische Universität Dresden addressing the increasing energy demand of global internet usage and the resulting ecological impact of it. The program pursues a novel holistic approach that considers hardware as well as software adaptivity to significantly increase energy efficiency, while suitably addressing application demands. The session presents the research challenges and industry perspective.
