Sumario:The article discusses the need to understand tradeoffs between energy and computation in order to design energy-efficient hardware and software. The entry notes that the computational complexity theory of the 1950s combined with a formal treatment of energy, power, and thermal issues will help to address problem of information technology's (IT) growing energy consumption. In relation to this, the technique of workload batching ensures minimized energy consumption from the hardware components to computing clusters.
