 AR SERIES\n========================================\n\nSPEAKER : Prof. Pra
 shant Shenoy\, University of Massachusetts Amherst\, USA\n\nTITLE : A Carb

 ==\nAbstract\nThe exponential growth of cloud computing has been a definin
 g trend of our time\, fueled by rapidly growing demands from data-intensiv
 e and machine-learning workloads. Despite the end of Dennard scaling\, the
  cloud’s energy demand grew more slowly than expected over the past deca
 de due to the aggressive implementation of energy-efficiency optimizations
 . Unfortunately\, there are few significant remaining optimization opportu
 nities using traditional methods\, and moving forward\, the cloud’s cont
 inued exponential growth will translate into rising energy demand\, which\
 , if left unchecked\, will translate to increasing carbon emissions.\n\nIn
  this talk\, I will argue for a Carbon First approach to designing cloud c
 omputing platforms and systems by making carbon efficiency a first-class d
 esign metric\, similar to traditional metrics of performance and reliabili
 ty. I will explain how today’s systems can be made first carbon-aware by
  exposing energy and carbon usage information to software platforms and th
 en made carbon-efficient by providing control over the system’s carbon u
 sage. I will present several systems mechanisms to enable such carbon awar
 eness and management and present several application case studies on how m
 odern cloud applications can employ these mechanisms to reduce their carbo
 n footprint. I will end with some open research challenges in this emergin
 g field of sustainable computing.\nBiography\nPrashant Shenoy is currently
  a Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean in the College of Informatio
 n and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He rec
 eived the B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the India
 n Institute of Technology\, Bombay and the M.S and Ph.D degrees in Compute
 r Science from the University of Texas\, Austin. His research interests li
 e in distributed systems and networking\, with a recent emphasis on cloud 
 and green computing. He has been the recipient of several best paper award
 s at leading conferences\, including a Sigmetrics Test of Time Award. He s
 erves on editorial boards of the several journals and has served as the pr
 ogram chair of over a dozen ACM and IEEE conferences. He is a fellow of th
 e ACM\, the IEEE\, and the AAAS.\n\nHost Faculty: Yogesh Simmhan\, CDS\n\n
