Using AI to mitigate the growing environmental threat of data centers

New methods based on artificial intelligence and machine learning are being developed to alleviate the load placed on electrical grids by data centers with globally growing energy demands.

The Growing Environmental Burden of Data Centers

Data centers, which are rapidly increasing in number worldwide, are straining electrical grids and increasing reliance on energy derived from polluting fossil fuels.

Hardware and Software Optimization

Academic studies reveal that large computing systems typically operate at only 15 percent capacity.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Tools

Research groups are developing tools such as Seer, which predicts web application issues in advance, and Ditto, which mimics system architectures for academic research.
