Fourteenth
International Conference on
Saving the Planet with Systems Research Luiz André Barroso, Google Abstract The computing industry has become so successful that almost
every economic sector benefits from its advances, while also being impacted by
its costs. The energy footprint of computers is one such cost. The dramatic
growth of computer deployments, both in personal devices and servers, has made
the energy usage of computers an increasing percentage of the world's
electricity budget. In data center installations, energy-related costs are
rising as a fraction of total expenses. Either of these trends left unchecked
has the Speaker Bio Luiz André Barroso is a Distinguished Engineer at Google, where he has worked across several engineering areas, ranging from applications and software infrastructure to the design of Google's computing platform. Prior to working at Google, he was a member of the research staff at Compaq and Digital Equipment Corporation, where his group did some of the pioneering work on computer architectures for commercial workloads. That work included the design of Piranha, a system based on an aggressive chip-multiprocessing, which helped inspire some of the multi-core CPUs that are now in the mainstream. Luiz has a Ph.D. degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California and B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica, Rio de Janeiro.
