``Energy-Efficient Communications for High-Performance Distributed Systems''

a special issue of

International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems (IJCNDS), Inderscience Publishers, UK

Theme ----- In pursuit of a wider bandwidth and higher communication efficiency, traditional buses are being replaced by innovative communication fabrics as the principal interconnect. However, these interconnection networks consume a significant portion of the total system energy. It has been reported in most systems up to 35% of energy is consumed by the interconnection networks. Thus, we must develop innovative and effective solution that can reduce power consumption for the interconnection networks for high-performance distributed systems.

Subject Coverage ---------------- The special issue will primarily encompass theoretical and practical solutions for energy-efficient communications for high-performance distributed systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Voltage and frequency scaled networks . Energy-efficient communication protocols . Switching and routing protocols . Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems . Application specific communication protocols for emerging distributed systems paradigms . Multi-objective optimization procedures for achieving high-throughput for energy-efficient systems . Cross layer protocol design aiming at energy efficient solutions . Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions . Virtualisation techniques for energy efficiency . Remote waking up techniques, protocols and strategies . Energy consumption surveys for network elements . Holistic models for energy efficient computing
