Supercomputers: Super-polluters?
Evan Mills, William Tschudi, John M. Shalf, Horst D. Simon · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 2008
Thanks to imperatives for limiting waste heat, maximizing performance, and controlling operating cost, energy efficiency has been a driving force in the evolution of supercomputers. The challenge going forward will be to extend these gains to offset the steeply rising demands for computing services and performance.
