The state of the art in the field of green and sustainable computing systems is explored throughout the nine chapters of this well-written book. It is well known that data centers and high-performing computing clusters are highly dependent on power and cooling costs in order to solve very large-scale problems. This increased power consumption causes many concerns because of the costs, scalability, and environmental impact. As a result, this topic has received increased attention both from academia and industry. Further development and improvement of the computing systems will have an important impact on society in general.

Various aspects related to green and sustainable computing systems are examined, including the fundamental limits on runtime power management algorithms for multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs) and the methods used for reliable networks-on-chip (NoC) and NoC router design. The authors also explore energy-adaptive computing (EAC) approaches for sustainable information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystems and the methods used for measuring the performance of data centers in terms of energy efficiency and productivity. In addition, several hot and important challenges related to the power efficiency and sustainability of computing systems are addressed.

Practitioners dealing with large data centers and high-performing computing clusters will find this book especially useful, due to its substantial practical importance. Researchers and graduate students in the computer science field may also find this book useful.
