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，其规模相当于耗电量数十兆瓦的购物中心。这些数据中心支持电子商务、金融服务、医疗保健、电信以及对社会至关重要的各种其他服务。从许多角度来看，这些数据中心的服务器以及使用它们的客户端的电源和热管理已成为一个关键问题，包括公用事业成本、环境影响、空间使用等。尽管学术界对这些问题正在进行大量研究和工业界一样，许多方法本质上往往是临时的和经验性的。研讨会的目的是从更基础的层面研究电源和散热问题，从而采用科学的方法来设计、配置和管理硬件和软件，不仅了解电源/散热问题，还了解相关性能和可靠性权衡。预计研讨会将产生更广泛的影响，指导该领域的未来研究，从技术、经济和可持续发展的角度来看，这一领域非常重要
