The question of energy savings is a matter of concern since a long time
in the mobile distributed systems. However, for the large-scale non-mobile
distributed systems, which nowadays reach impressive sizes, the energy dimension
just starts to be taken into account.
Some previous work on operational Grids shows that grids are not
utilized at their full capacity. We focus on the utilization and the
energy analysis of experimental Grids by relying on the case study of
Grid5000, a french experimental Grid.
