AI: sucks so much electrical energy meanwhile prevents power cuts: datacenters: need so much electricity power demands for future: https://lnkd.in/d43-xrkq

Just ran some calculations to determine the kWh/task needed in a datacenter to book a flight, see Figure 1. Energy usage in a datacentre for running an algorithm depends on hardware, datacenter efficiency, and algorithm specifics. Here are some key factors to consider: - Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE): A measure of energy usage by computing equipment versus cooling and other systems. A PUE of 1.0 indicates all energy is used by computing. - Server Power Consumption: Varies based on hardware and workload, ranging from 100-1000 watts depending on the state and specs. - Algorithm Complexity: Factors like compute intensity, run time, and parallelism impact energy consumption. - Cooling and Overheads: Energy is also used for cooling, lighting, and infrastructure needs. Estimating energy usage for booking a flight involves server power consumption, PUE, and energy consumption per booking. Table 1 shows the G20 Nations and rank them based on their grid carbon intensity. To reduce emissions quickly, optimizing operations is key. Strategies include Geographic Load Balancing, Carbon-Aware Scheduling, Green Energy Certificates, Energy-Efficient Hardware, and Carbon-Aware Cloud Platforms. Efficiency in datacenters is crucial for reducing emissions and meeting Scope 3 requirements for products and services. By implementing these optimization strategies, we can work towards a more sustainable future. Let's prioritize energy efficiency and emission reduction in our datacenter operations while we also work on chip technology. #DataCenterEfficiency #EnergyOptimization #SustainabilityInTech #Scope3 #CarbonAccounting #Carboncredits #ESG

I'm still going through my 37c3 (Chaos Communication Congress) presentation. This one has some food for thought Energy consumption of datacenters The increase has already been exponential for years. With the AI hype, this demand for energy, cooling and water has increased dramatically. What is known, what is to be expected and how can an upcoming crisis be avoided? Can we reuse the energy? At least partially? Are there other concepts of integrating data centers into buildings and cities? Do we have non technical patterns driving the resource exhaustion? https://lnkd.in/d2DmfeJr

The world is connected like never before. Thanks to subsea cables and data centers that make it possible. And Long Island Interconnect is at the center of it all. Our colocation facility is renowned for its ability to connect subsea systems to terrestrial networks. But what does that even mean? It means that we're at the heart of the digital revolution, connecting people, businesses, and ideas around the world. Without interconnectivity, none of this would be possible. So, if you're looking for a data center that can handle your connectivity needs, look no further than Long Island Interconnect. #colocation #connectivity #interconnectivity #subseacables #internet #colo #nycolocation #nydatacenter

At the Mobile World Congress, Ericsson and Intel showcased a groundbreaking collaboration, demonstrating a 3.2x performance increase and over 40% energy savings in core network servers using Intel Xeon Next-Gen processors. 🔋 In today's world, where sustainability and energy efficiency are at the forefront of the agenda for CSPs worldwide, it's important that every facet of the network becomes more energy-efficient to drive a reduction in overall energy consumption. With approximately 20 percent of energy consumed in modern mobile networks attributed to the core network, cloud infrastructure, and IT support systems, this collaboration is a testament to Ericsson’s shared commitment to reducing energy consumption and driving greater efficiency across the board. 🌍 Together, Ericsson and Intel are shaping the future of sustainable, high-performance mobile networks, and I couldn't be more thrilled to follow this incredible journey. 🚀 #TeamEricsson #MWC24 #EricssonMWC #Sutainability #EnergyEfficiency #InternetOfThings #Technology #5G

Effective automation often still fails due to insufficient network speed. This is why broadband expansion is crucial as a starting point for 5G and higher data traffic. The result: faster communication from machine to machine and more reliable communication between employees. LAPP helps you to plan and implement your digitalisation projects. Our connection solutions fulfil all requirements, from reliability to protection against wiretapping.

Datacenter loads are projected to surge from 19 gigawatts in 2023 to 35GW by 2030, as outlined by McKinsey & Co. This upward trajectory raises concerns as the heightened power demand could impede the energy transition and lead to power reliability challenges. However, data centers are not the sole industry driving this surge in electrical demand. Taking proactive measures now could set the stage for success as electrification and US manufacturing witness similar growth. Moreover, data centers have the potential to bolster grid flexibility. They can play a pivotal role by either absorbing excess clean energy or adjusting certain operations to reinforce power reserves during peak demand periods. #DataCenters #ElectricalDemand #EnergyTransition #GridFlexibility #McKinseyAndCo
