Exploring the Carbon Compromises

IT Facilities, Business Continuity and Green IT Topical Session: Carbon & Sustainability in Data Centers

Speaker

David Britton (University of Glasgow (GB))

Description

Minimising carbon associated with computing will require compromise. In this presentation I will present the results from simulating a Grid site where the compute is run at reduced frequency when the predicted carbon intensity rises above some threshold. The compromise is a reduction in throughput in exchange for an increased carbon-efficiency for the work that is completed. The presentation will also summarise other, related, work from the Glasgow group.
