The great amounts of energy consumed by large-scale computing and network systems, such as data centers and supercomputers, have been a major source of concern in a society increasingly reliant on information technology. Trying to tackle this issue, the research community and industry have proposed a myriad of techniques to curb the energy consumed by IT systems. This article surveys techniques and solutions that aim to improve the energy efficiency of computing and network resources. It discusses methods to evaluate and model the energy consumed by these resources, and describes techniques that operate at a distributed system level, trying to improve aspects such as resource allocation, scheduling and network traffic management.This work aims to review the state of the art on energy efficiency and to foster research on schemes to make network and computing resources more efficient.

Large-Scale Distributed Systems and Energy Efficiency

P2P systems and applications have achieved increasing popularity in the last years due to the characteristics of dynamicity and scalability of the peer-to-peer paradigm. Currently, P2P applications -especially file sharing and file distribution applications -generate a remarkable portion of the overall Internet traffic. However, many common P2P protocols do not consider the energy problem. Frequently, hosts are requested to stay on and connected to the network for long times. Therefore, they are very energy-consuming. In this chapter, we present a general taxonomy to classify possible approaches to the energy problem in P2P systems and applications. Then, we survey the main solutions available in the literature, focusing on two relevant classes of P2P protocols, namely file sharing/distribution protocols (e.g., BitTorrent and Gnutella) and epidemic P2P protocols.

“…For this reason, energy-efficient BitTorrent proposals have been studied in [10] and [11]. Blackburn et al [10] designed and implemented a green BitTorrent client that can drop its connections and go to sleep, yet still be active as a swarm member. This work is the first version to specifically look at the BitTorrent protocol in terms of energy savings.…”

SUMMARYInfrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing is emerging as a viable alternative to the acquisition and management of physical resources. The new main feature of IaaS cloud computing is the virtual machine (VM) technology which improves the flexibility of resource management. VMs use virtual machine images that are preconfigured and ready to run. Typically, VM image management uses local file copy and distribution via a network file system (NFS). This potentially means that a more efficient method can be used for VM image distribution. For efficient VM image management, we have designed and implemented a BitTorrent-based network block device (namely, BitNBD) for provisioning VM images in IaaS clouds. The BitNBD mainly provides a 'split read/write mechanism' to deal with concurrent VM instances where the same pieces of a VM are shared. With respect to the legacy BitTorrent protocol, the BitNBD enhances the piece picker policy and energy-saving mode. It is very effective in minimizing VM startup delays and providing a hibernating capability.
