 nThe popularity of online services drives need for bigger datacenters with
  more server processors. As Moore's law continues\, the number of transist
 ors on chip rises exponentially\, enabling us to have CMPs with hundreds o
 f cores. However\, due to the breakdown of Dennard's scaling\, we cannot p
 ower up all of them at the same time. Hence\, soon we will enter an era of
  "dark silicon"\, in which we cannot power up our fast and dense processor
 s. In this work\, we explore the potential directions to improve energy ef
 ficiency of server processors in the post-Dennard era. Moreover\, we inves
 tigate the hardware- and software-related constraints of designing a serve
 r processor for modern cloud services\, and we propose an approach to desi
 gn energy efficient server processors.
