The document discusses how JouleX Energy Manager and Cisco EnergyWise can help organizations reduce energy consumption and costs. Key points:
1) JouleX Energy Manager monitors, analyzes, and controls energy usage across IT and facilities infrastructure to quickly identify waste and set policies.
2) Cisco EnergyWise extends this capability from the core to edge devices like PCs, phones, and access points without costly agents.
3) A case study found a large bank saved up to 50% on energy costs and estimated annual savings of €24 million using these solutions.
Data center power and cooling infrastructure worldwide wastes more than 60,000,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity that does no useful work powering IT equipment.

EDEEC-Enhanced Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol for He...IRJET Journal
This document presents an enhanced distributed energy efficient clustering (EDEEC) protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. EDEEC aims to improve energy efficiency and extend network lifetime. It considers three types of nodes (normal, advanced, super) with different initial energy levels. EDEEC selects cluster heads based on their remaining energy levels and probabilities related to their type, aiming to distribute energy consumption more evenly. Simulation results show EDEEC outperforms DEEC, DDEEC and other protocols in terms of network lifetime and energy efficiency metrics. The protocol aims to better support heterogeneous networks where nodes have varying energy levels.
Those slides were used at the Net Impact "in depth issue" call from February 10th 2010, which focused on developing performance metrics to track Sustainability initiatives. It shows several examples from SunGard's (now FIS) data center business using sample data. It also shows the formulas used to determine efficiency and benchmark it. Energy use is a key component as well as the split between powering servers and everything else.

GreenDisc: A HW/SW energy optimization framework in globally distributed comp...GreenLSI Team, LSI, UPM
Marina Zapater attends as speaker to UCAmI 2012.
The main goal of this conference is to provide a discussion forum where researchers and practitioners on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence can meet, disseminate and exchange ideas and problems, identify some of the key issues related to these topics, and explore together possible solutions and future works.
The Ubiquitous Computing (UC) idea envisioned by Weiser in 1991, has recently evolved to a more general paradigm known as Ambient Intelligence (AmI). Ambient Intelligence then represents a new generation of user-centred computing environments aiming to find new ways to obtain a better integration of the information technology in everyday life devices and activities.
Marina has presented our first results within the GreenDISC project, proposing several research lines that target the power optimization in computing systems. In particular, we deal with two novel and highly differentiated computer paradigms that, however, coexist and interact in the current application scenarios: the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and the high-performance computing in Data Centers (DC).
For further information, please, refer to the paper:

This document discusses options for data center owners and operators to consider when their aging infrastructure may no longer meet current or future needs. As digital traffic and the internet of things continue to grow rapidly, data center infrastructure is facing unprecedented challenges. The document outlines various strategies to evaluate such as tuning up existing facilities, targeted modernization of critical components, adopting pod-based architectures, and building new infrastructure to right-size capacity. Each option involves analyzing business needs, costs, efficiency gains, and potential downtime to determine the best path forward.
The document discusses the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) approach to building energy efficient data centers and facilities. It highlights NREL's Research Support Facility, a LEED Platinum building that uses 40% less energy than typical offices. It also describes the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) data center, which has a Power Usage Effectiveness of 1.06, making it one of the most energy efficient data centers in the world. The ESIF utilizes warm water cooling, high power distribution, and captures waste heat to help heat other buildings on campus.

Commercial Overview DC Session 3 The Greening Of The Data Centrepaul_mathews
Data centers consume large amounts of electricity and produce significant carbon emissions. They are often inefficient, with only around 50% of energy going to IT loads while the rest is lost to physical infrastructure. This can be improved through better sizing, modular scalable designs, high-efficiency equipment, and optimization techniques like hot/cold aisle containment. Achieving higher data center infrastructure efficiency (DCiE) through monitoring and improvement strategies can reduce electricity bills by up to 50% and lower environmental impact.
This document summarizes a study on improving energy efficiency in data centers through a cyber-physical approach combining hardware and software monitoring. The study developed an optimization framework that gathers data on environmental, server, and workload parameters in real-time to dynamically adapt and propose optimizations. It deployed a wireless sensor network in a supercomputer data center to monitor inlet/outlet temperatures and other environmental data at adjustable sampling rates, reducing the amount of collected data by up to 68% while still capturing useful information. The approach was tested in a real case study to holistically optimize energy use through integrated IT and cooling system management.
ScottMadden has developed an approach for analyzing data center requirements and driving improvements in existing data center retrofits. Our approach takes into account the technological requirements, the physical attributes of a data center, and the requirements for a rigorous measurement and verification program needed to ensure improvements actually capture the energy efficiently gains and the resultant greenhouse gas reductions.
Our approach addresses the latest trends in data center management such as virtualization and cloud computing and provide a framework for developing metrics needed to drive changes in data center performance.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
