The research project CoolSoftware is part of the cluster of excellence "Cool Silicon" and founded by the Leading-Edge Cluster Competition of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Together with 16 chairs of 3 technical colleges (TU and HTW Dresden, TU Chemnitz), 9 research institutes, major enterprises like AMD, Infineon and X-FAB as well as many capable small and medium-sized companies, a technological basis will be established to strongly increase the energy efficiency in the field of IT. sowie einer Vielzahl leistungsfähiger kleiner und mittelständischer Unternehmen, von denen viele in ihrer jeweiligen
Previous approaches to optimize energy efficiency focused mainly on hardware and necglected the fact, that software running on hardware could have a big impact on energy consumption. Our project aims at reducing the energy consumption of complex IT systems through intelligent software controlling. Therefore, we investigate, to which extent the use of adaptive software at application and system level can lead to an energy optimized operation of the underlying hardware infrastructure.
