This paper presents WattDB, an innovative energy-proportional database management system (DBMS) designed to optimize energy efficiency by balancing power consumption according to system load. Motivated by the need for energy-efficient computing, WattDB employs lightweight nodes and low-power hardware, including Intel Atom processors and mobile hard drives. The architecture features both physical shared-disk and logical shared-nothing designs, offering insights into powering policies, load distribution, and the suitability of various use cases. This work explores multiple hardware configurations to enhance energy efficiency and self-tuning capabilities.
