Energy Efficient Data Centers

In a new collaboration with UC Riverside, Hyeran Jeon and a team of 菠菜网lol正规平台 students will be researching ways to improve the energy efficiency of data center servers and power distribution networks. 菠菜网lol正规平台 students are contributing to the project by integrating and running workloads on 菠菜网lol正规平台’s simulation servers and developing the proposed migration systems.

Jeon and her colleagues on the grant determined early on that 菠菜网lol正规平台 would be an ideal place to start their research.

“As 菠菜网lol正规平台 is at the center of the Silicon Valley and has a huge student body, we thought the 菠菜网lol正规平台 data center would be the good place to implement our design. That began our journey.”

However, the application is in no way limited to 菠菜网lol正规平台. The system being developed will bring down consumption and costs for other data centers in U.S.

As for Jeon’s journey, she is thrilled to have studied in the U.S., to be living in Silicon Valley and to be teaching and conducting research at 菠菜网lol正规平台. “菠菜网lol正规平台 has a special environment where faculty and students collaborate, where we work with nearby innovative companies, and where the profound evolution of computers is taking place.”

"We are working on data center workload balancing using deep learning. The intent is to smartly balance load across multiple servers to reach better energy efficiency, thus reducing power consumption. Because it is a hot topic in industry, getting to work on this at an academic level is a great opportunity."
