While leading computing corporations have instituted "green data center" and "eco-responsible computing" initiatives, the computer architecture community as a whole has drifted away from power-aware architecture and on to the next topic. Arguably, power remains the computer architecture topic with the most potential for societal impact. Albonesi exhorts Micro readers to re-emphasize power-related research and outlines a few of the most pressing issues.
