Energy Efficiency: The New Holy Grail of Data Management Systems Research
Summary: Argues that energy efficiency in data centers requires database-system–level solutions, not just hardware changes, and demonstrates potential savings via two simple experiments. Identifies DBMS hotspots (query execution, storage, buffer/resource management) and urges energy-aware research. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
