Resumo

We discuss the immediate need, challenges, and opportunities to transition into greener cloud computing platforms. Actions must be taken not only by the academy and the industry, but also by computer science practitioners from several areas, such as information systems, scheduling theory, distributed systems, HPC, computer architecture, and approximate computing, to cite a few.

Palavras-chave: high performance computing, green computing, cloud computing, sustainability
