Abstract
Energy consumption by data centers is growing at an exponential rate. Similar growth in power consumption had occurred in smaller-scale microprocessor -based computing. In this chapter, the evolution of microprocessor systems is described, highlighting principles and examples of power-saving strategies. The same principles can be applied to large-scale computing centers, in order to address the upcoming power crisis in cloud computing .
