``Energy-efficient High-Performance Parallel and Distributed
Computing''
          
a special issue of the 

Journal of Supercomputing, Springer


Theme:

Over  the  last  decade  we have witnessed computing service
providers  to  continually  upgrade their infrastructures to
high-performance   computing   systems  that  can  meet  the
increasing  demands  of  powerful  newer  applications.   In
parallel,  almost  in  concert, computing manufacturers have
consolidated  and  moved  from  stand-alone  servers to rack
mounted  blades.   The  above  mentioned  trends  alone  are
increasing   electricity   usage  in  large-scale  computing
systems,  such  as  data  centers,  computational grids, and
cloud  computing.   This increase in electricity utilization
has  reached  to  a  point  that many information technology
managers  are all up in arms to identify a holistic solution
that  can  reduce electricity consumption (so that the total
cost   of   operation  is  minimized)  of  their  respective
large-scale  computing  systems  and  simultaneously improve
upon or maintain the current throughput of the system.

Paper Submission:

The  authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing
original,  previously  unpublished,  complete  research, not
currently  under  review  by  another conference or journal,
addressing  state-of-the-art research and development in all
areas  of  Energy-efficient  High-Performance  Parallel  and
Distributed    Computing.     Papers   must   be   submitted
electronically      via      the      Editorial      Manager

article  type  as  Sp  Iss: Energy-efficient Computing.  The
maximum  length  of a submission (including tables, figures,
and  references)  should  not  exceed 30 double-spaced pages
with one inch margins all around.
