His contribution "Energy Efficiency in Main Memory Databases" reports on the key results of his Master Thesis. The Master Thesis was prepared within the DBIS Group and in the context of the CRC 876 (Project A2).
Stefans paper shows how the energy efficiency of a database system can be improved by balancing the compute capacity of the system with the available main memory bandwidth. To this end, he proposes to use Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) as well as the selective shutdown of individual cores.
We congratulate Stefan to this success.
