Sarkar dabaru
Argument follows rigorous logic: current distributed computing models → massive energy consumption → unsustainable growth projections → urgent need for power-aware optimization. This is not theoretical speculation; we observe similar patterns in commercial cloud computing, where AWS and Google now treat energy efficiency as a core competitive advantage. The paper's highlight lies in connecting hardware trends (multi-core processors) with software scheduling and global system optimization.
Highlights and shortcomings
Highlights: The global perspective on power consumption optimization across distributed ownership models demonstrates genuine innovation. While most energy efficiency studies focus on single data centers, this paper tackles the more challenging problem of coordinated optimization across administrative boundaries. The comparison with supercomputer power consumption provides crucial context that should alert funding agencies.
Pain Points: This paper significantly underestimates implementation challenges. Power-aware scheduling in globally distributed systems faces massive coordination problems, similar to those encountered in blockchain consensus mechanisms, but with the added requirement of meeting real-time performance demands. The authors also missed the opportunity to connect with relevant machine learning approaches, such as Google DeepMind's method for data center cooling optimization that achieved 40% energy savings.
