Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

center.
• 2007-$4.5 billion of electricity
• 2011-$7.4 billion of electricity(25 power
plants)
• 2011-Double CO2 output ( 62 million metric
tons)
6. How Computing Harm Environment
• By electronic appliances.
• Desktop requires 85 watts just to idle(Monitor
off)
• Left on 24 hrs/day-1,500 pounds of CO2 per
year.
• A tree absorbs between 3 and 15 pounds of
CO2 each year.(up to 500 trees)
7. How Computing Harm Environment
• According to reports from the German Federal
Environment Office, devices consume around
17 billion (kWh) in a year in standby mode.
• The CO2 dissipated from ‘sleeping’ devices =
1/7th the CO2 emitted by an automobile.
• Manufacturers do not provide a proper shut-off
button in devices.
• Windows Vista’s default shut down mode is a
deep sleep mode that requires power.
8. How Computing Harm Environment
• Hazardous materials inside computers.
• These contain
–Cadmium(damage your kidneys)
–Mercury(neurological damage)
–Lead(disrupt brain neurotransmitters).
9. History
• The term “ Green Computing" was probably coined
shortly after the ‘ Energy Star’ program began way
back in 1992.
• One of the first results of green computing was the “
Sleep mode” function of computer monitors.
• As the concept developed, green computing began to
encompass thin client solutions, energy cost,
accounting, virtualization practices, e-Waste, etc.
10. Objectives of Green Computing
• Reduce climate change
• Savings
• Reliability of Power
• Computing
• Reduce the use of hazardous materials
11. Climate Change :
• First and foremost, conclusive research shows that
CO2 and other emissions are causing global climate
and environmental damage.
• Preserving the planet is a valid goal because it aims to
preserve life. Planets like ours, that supports life, are
very rare.
Objectives of Green Computing
12. • Savings : Green computing can lead to serious cost
savings overtime. Reductions in energy costs from
servers, cooling, and lighting are generating serious
savings for many corporations.
• maximize energy efficiency during the product’ s
lifetime
• promote the recyclability or biodegradability of
defunct products and factory waste.
Objectives of Green Computing
13. Materials Recycling :
• Parts from outdated systems may be salvaged and
recycled through certain retail outlets and municipal
or private recycling.
• Many organizations, including some manufacturers
themselves, are willing to take equipment back and
recycle the components into new products.
Objectives of Green Computing
14. Approaches to Green Computing:
1. Virtualization :
Computer virtualization is the process of running two or
more logical computer systems on one set of physical
hardware.
15. Approaches to Green Computing:
2. Power Management :
• ACPI allows an operating system to directly control
the power saving aspects of its underlying hardware.
• Prolong battery life for portable and embedded
systems.
• Reduce cooling requirements.
• Reduce noise.
• Reduce operating costs for energy and cooling
16. Approaches to Green Computing:
3. Video Card :
• A fast GPU-largest power consumer
• No video card – use a shared terminal or desktop
sharing software if display required.
• Use motherboard video output – typically low 3D
performance and low power.
• Reuse an older video card that uses little power, many
do not require heat sinks or fans.
17. Approaches to Green Computing:
4. Telecommuting :
• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions related to
travel and increased profit margins.
• Increased worker satisfaction.
20. • Blackle(74~59 wt)(saves 750mw)
Blackle search-engine site powered by Google
Custom Search. This is because when your
computer screen is white, the energy consumes
74W, whereas when the screen black, it consume
only 59W.
21. • Fit-PC(compact, quiet and green)
Fit-PC is the size a paperback and absolutely silent,
yet fit enough to run Windows XP or Linux. Fit-PC
only 5 Watts, consuming in a day less power than a
traditional PC consumes in 1 hour.
22. • Zonbu Computer
Zonbu computer is a new and a very energy
efficient PC. The Zonbu just one third of power of
a typical light bulb. The Device runs the Linux OS
using a 1.2 GHz Processor and 512 MB RAM.
23. • Sunray thin client
•Thin clients like the Sun Ray consume far less electricity
than conventional desktops.
•A Sun Ray on a desktop consumes 4 to 8 watts of power,
because most of the heavy computation is performed by a
server.
•Suited for cost-sensitive environments such as call
centers, education, healthcare, service providers and
finance.
24. Simple Tasks we can do..
• Buy and use a low power desktop or a laptop
computer (40-90 watts) rather a higher power desktop
(e.g. 300 watts).
• Buy hardware from manufacturers that have a
hardware recycling scheme, and recycle your old
computer equipment rather than sending it to landfill.
• Replace your CRT screen with an LCD screen.
25. Approaches to Green Computing:
Display:
• LCD displays: use a CCF bulb
• LED displays: use an array of LEDs
• LCD monitors uses 3 times less when active, and 10
times less energy when in sleep mode.
• LCDs are up to 66% more energy efficient.
• LCDs are also smaller in size and weight.
• 21" CRT typically uses more than 120W.
26. Advantages
• Energy saving
• Environmentally Friendly
• Cost-effective ( pays over time )
• Save more money per year
• Can give you a tax right off
27. Disadvantages:
• High start up cost
• Not readily available
• Still in experimental stages
• Sacrifieses performance for battery life
• Not for everyone
28. Future of Green Computing :
• The plan towards green IT should include new
electronic products and services with optimum
efficiency and all possible options towards energy
savings.
• That is enterprise wise companies are laying
emphasis on moving towards Eco Friendly
Components in Computers, the use of eco-friendly
sustainable components will become the norm rather
than the exception in future.
29. Conclusion
• Green computing can lead to a lot of energy
savings, reduction in emission of co2 & CFC’s
which leads to environment protection.
• It also leads to serious cost savings overtime.
