As the computing needs of business and consumers continue to grow, mega data centers with tens of thousands of machines are being built the size of shopping malls that consume tens of megawatts of power. These data centers support e-commerce, financial services, health care, telecommunications, and a variety of other services critical to the society. Power and thermal management of servers in these data centers and the clients using them has become a critical issue from many perspectives including utility costs, environmental impact, space usage, etc. Although there is a substantial amount of ongoing research into these issues in both academia and industry, many of the approaches tend to be ad hoc and empirical in nature. The purpose of the workshop is to examine power and thermal issues at a much more fundamental level and thereby bring a scientific approach to designing, configuring and managing hardware and software in a way that comprehends not only the power/thermal issues but also the associated performance and reliability tradeoffs. The broader impact of the workshop is expected to be in terms of guiding future research in this area that is important from technological, economic and sustainability perspective

随着企业和消费者的计算需求不断增长，拥有数万台机器的大型数据中心正在建设中，这些数据中心的规模相当于购物中心，需要消耗数十兆瓦的电力。这些数据中心支持电子商务、金融服务、医疗保健、电信和对社会至关重要的各种其他服务。从公用事业成本、环境影响、空间使用等多个角度来看，这些数据中心和使用它们的客户端服务器的电源和热管理已经成为一个关键问题。尽管学术界和工业界都在对这些问题进行大量的研究，但许多方法在本质上往往是特别的和经验主义的。研讨会的目的是在更基本的层面上检查电源和热问题，从而带来一种科学的方法来设计，配置和管理硬件和软件，不仅要理解电源/热问题，还要理解相关的性能和可靠性权衡。预计讲习班的更广泛影响将是指导从技术、经济和可持续性角度来看很重要的这一领域的未来研究
