With the advent of new species of ARM architecture on the market, and increasing developments by Intel/AMD to match the power-savings by ARM, it can be difficult for Grid sites to decide which machines to target in future procurements. While cost is an important factor, sites are increasingly able to make at least part of their choices on sustainability grounds. Obtaining test machines and...
In an era defined by the exponential rise of artificial intelligence and data analytics, the value of data is more valuable than ever, propelling the expansion of data centers to accommodate vast datasets. However, this growth comes with a sobering reality: the significant energy consumption of data centers, often rivaling that of entire nations. The need to create a sustainable and scalable...
By modelling the life cycle emissions for a given unit of scientific computing under various scenarios of hardware replacement and computing facilities (including the emissions from the local power generation mix), we can find optimal computing hardware replacement cycles in order to minimize carbon emissions.
The majority of this work was presented at ISGC on March 28th:...
As the UK’s journey towards NetZero accelerates, we need robust information to inform both strategic and operational decisions, from policy development and funding allocation to hardware procurement, code optimisation and job scheduling.
The UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure NetZero Scoping Project published its technical report and recommendations in August 2023 [1] and funded the...
At our site we have varied the datacenter inlet temperature between 23-25C while monitoring the effects on the total system power usage and temperature. In this talk i will give a overview of the results and findings of this. And how we collected all the relevant information, and how to visualize this in a useful format.
The Technology Watch Working Group, established in 2018 to take a close look at the evolution of the technology relevant to HEP computing, has resumed its activities after a long pause. In this first official report after such pause, we describe our goals, how the group is organized and the first results of our work.
