The pith

A holistic taxonomy organizes energy-efficient techniques across hardware, software, scheduling, and cooling for the cloud-edge-HPC continuum.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper surveys recent work on reducing power use in high-performance computing and large-scale AI systems, where energy has become a central limit on scaling. It groups these efforts into a single taxonomy that spans hardware choices, measurement tools, code optimizations, task scheduling, voltage adjustments, workload packing, federated learning, and cooling methods. The taxonomy is meant to reveal gaps and guide future work toward lower carbon footprints and sustainable operation at every scale from IoT devices to multi-megawatt centers. If the mapping holds, practitioners gain a shared reference for comparing approaches and prioritizing research on the most power-hungry AI workloads.

Core claim

The paper establishes that current publications on energy-efficient computing can be systematically arranged into a holistic taxonomy built around hardware and software aspects, measurement instrumentation, software optimizations, dynamic task scheduling, voltage scaling, workload consolidation, federated learning, and cooling. This structure captures the state of the art for the full cloud-edge-HPC range and places special weight on the demands of large-scale generative AI training and inference. The resulting overview supports a forward roadmap for sustainable computing that accounts for financial, environmental, and supply constraints on energy.

What carries the argument

The holistic taxonomy that groups publications by perspectives including hardware/software aspects, measurement instrumentation, software optimizations, dynamic task scheduling, voltage scaling, workload consolidation, federated learning, and cooling.

If this is right

  • Researchers can use the taxonomy to locate under-explored intersections such as federated learning combined with dynamic voltage scaling.
  • System designers gain a shared language for comparing hardware and software energy strategies across IoT to HPC scales.
  • Roadmap priorities shift toward techniques that jointly address carbon footprint, energy supply limits, and large AI workloads.
  • Measurement and cooling methods become more visible as first-class components rather than afterthoughts in energy studies.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The taxonomy could be turned into a living database that automatically classifies new papers as they appear.
  • Applying the same structure to older literature might reveal whether today's dominant approaches differ in kind from earlier ones.
  • If cooling and federated learning remain separate branches, future work may need explicit cross-links when both are used on the same cluster.

Load-bearing premise

The publications chosen for review represent the most recent and significant contributions, so the taxonomy built from them accurately reflects the overall state of the field.

What would settle it

A major 2025 or 2026 paper on energy reduction in exascale AI or data centers whose methods cannot be placed in any of the taxonomy's listed categories without stretching the definitions.

read the original abstract

High-Performance Computing (HPC) has recently entered the Exascale era, and considerable efforts are being made to fully harness this potential power for large-scale applications, such as cutting-edge generative AI (training and exploitation). The corresponding energy consumption is very high, and forecasts are alarming, making this metric a critical systemic bottleneck. Addressing this issue presents a genuine challenge for the entire cloud-edge-HPC continuum at all scales, from low-power IoT microcontrollers to multi-megawatt data centers. Beyond financial costs, green computing is driven by considerations related to climate change and environmental concerns such as carbon footprint ($CO_2e$), as well as constraints on energy production and supply, leading to a real need to regulate {\em information and communication technology} (ICT) activities. This article presents a comprehensive overview of energy-efficient computing, taking into account the most recent and significant contributions. Based on this exploration of the state of the art, we design and describe a holistic taxonomy of the aforementioned publications, structured around various perspectives, including {\em hardware and software aspects, measurement instrumentation, software optimizations, dynamic task scheduling, voltage scaling, workload consolidation, federated learning}, and {\em cooling}. Particular emphasis is placed on large-scale AI, which receives significant attention due to its considerable resource requirements. We conclude with an analysis of a forward-looking roadmap that considers the main perspectives of sustainable computing.

Editorial analysis

Referee Report

1 major / 0 minor

Summary. The manuscript surveys energy-efficient computing across the cloud-edge-HPC-IoT continuum, with emphasis on large-scale AI workloads. It reviews recent contributions and constructs a holistic taxonomy organized by hardware/software aspects, measurement instrumentation, software optimizations, dynamic task scheduling, voltage scaling, workload consolidation, federated learning, and cooling, concluding with a forward-looking roadmap for sustainable computing.

Significance. A structured taxonomy of energy-aware methods could usefully organize an interdisciplinary field and surface connections among hardware, software, and system-level techniques, particularly for AI. The survey's value as a reference depends on the taxonomy's coverage; the absence of documented selection criteria reduces its reliability as a definitive state-of-the-art map.

major comments (1)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the central claim that a 'holistic taxonomy' can be constructed from 'the most recent and significant contributions' across the listed perspectives cannot be evaluated, because no section describes the literature search (databases, keywords, date range, screening process, or total papers considered). This omission is load-bearing for the taxonomy's asserted completeness.

  1. Referee: [Abstract] Abstract: the central claim that a 'holistic taxonomy' can be constructed from 'the most recent and significant contributions' across the listed perspectives cannot be evaluated, because no section describes the literature search (databases, keywords, date range, screening process, or total papers considered). This omission is load-bearing for the taxonomy's asserted completeness.

    Authors: We agree that the absence of an explicit literature search methodology section limits the ability to assess the taxonomy's scope and completeness. In the revised version, we will add a dedicated subsection (likely in Section 1 or as a new Section 2) that documents the search process. This will include the academic databases queried (e.g., IEEE Xplore, ACM DL, arXiv, ScienceDirect), search keywords and Boolean strings, the date range (primarily 2020–2025 with selected foundational works), inclusion/exclusion criteria, and approximate totals of papers screened and retained. This addition will directly support the claim of a holistic taxonomy derived from recent contributions. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: survey taxonomy has no derivations or self-referential reductions

full rationale

This is a literature review paper that surveys energy-efficient computing publications and organizes them into a taxonomy across listed perspectives. No equations, fitted parameters, predictions, or derivations appear anywhere in the manuscript. The taxonomy is explicitly constructed from the reviewed works rather than claiming to derive new results from first principles or reduce to self-citation chains. Absence of a documented search protocol affects verifiability of completeness but does not create any of the enumerated circularity patterns (self-definitional, fitted-input prediction, load-bearing self-citation, etc.). The paper is self-contained as a descriptive overview.
