Power-Grid Load Balancing by Using Smart Home AppliancesValerio Aisa
Climate change is one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet, and can be mitigated by increasing the efficiency of the electric power generation and distribution system. Dynamic demand control is a low-cost technology that fosters better load balancing of the electricity grid, and thus enable savings on CO2 emissions at power plants. This paper discusses a practical and inexpensive solution for the implementation of dynamic demand control, based on a dedicated peripheral for a general-purpose microcontroller. Pre-production test of the peripheral has been carried out by emulating the actual microprocessor. Simulations have been carried out, to investigate actual efficacy of the proposed approach.

Why are you paying for wasted energy in IT?
Energy costs continue to climb and yet up to a third of the money that companies spend on power could be wasted(1) owing to inefficient IT infrastructure. Power demands are predicted to outstrip supply in the next few years, so those costs won’t comedown. Energy regulations and carbon reduction targets are adding to the pressure. So why aren’t you taking a serious look at your IT energy use?
"This paper examines the results of an IDC study of enterprise organizations that have
deployed IBM Power Systems to achieve workload consolidation, improved uptime, and
reduced operational costs. These systems are highly virtualized platforms that supported
consolidation of workloads and provided near-term payback from the initial investment."
In this whitepaper, we will look at multiple case studies that demonstrate how Smarter Computing delivers improved IT economics. The case studies cover different IT domains—
optimized systems, federated data, Cloud and new service delivery models.

Electricity usage costs have become an increasing fraction of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for data centers. It is possible to dramatically reduce the electrical consumption of typical data centers through appropriate design of the data center physical infrastructure and through the design of the IT architecture. This paper explains how to quantify the electricity savings and provides examples of methods that can greatly reduce electrical power consumption.
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. This represents an enormous financial burden on industry, and is a significant public policy environmental issue. This paper describes the principles of a new, commercially available data center
architecture that can be implemented today to dramatically improve the electrical efficiency of data centers.
With the rise of containerization, as well as the established adoption of virtualization technologies, run-time power and energy management is becoming one of the key challenges in modern cloud computing. This is also fundamental as power consumption contributes to the 20% of the Total Cost of Ownership of a datacenter and energy costs will exceed hardware costs in the near future. In this context, several goals towards power optimization can be achieved. On the one hand, power capping can be enforced and on top of that the system should be able to maximize performance. On the other hand, when performance are critical, the system should be able to provide a minimum SLA and optimize power consumption without violating it. Within this context, we propose a common autonomic methodology based on the ODA control loop for containers and virtual machines. The proposed methodology is able to achieve 25% power savings for containers and can improve performance under a power cap for virtual machines.
There are many factors in the data center that are driving the new data center design considerations. This slideshare discusses several of the trends in the data center and covers several solutions to implement.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

5. The Problem: IT Energy Waste
• Every day 156 million employees in the US, the UK and Germany decide
whether or not to shut down their PCs
• 1.3 million tonnes of unnecessary CO2 was emitted by UK businesses in
2009 by not turning off idle PCs wasting nearly £300 million
• A UK company with 10,000 PCs wastes £168,000 and 828 tonnes of CO2
annually through not shutting down PCs
• 67 percent of UK employees feel that their companies should be doing more
to reduce power consumption
• Only 2 percent of UK employees shut down their PCs at night because they
were directed by their company to do so
• 50 percent of those who use a PC at work typically choose not to shut down
their PC at the end of the day
• PC power costs are the biggest contributory factor to IT costs and can
account for 25 percent of overall building costs

20. Defining PC Power Management
► Actively reducing the energy consumption of operating PCs and monitors
by enabling lower power states during periods of inactivity — where the PC
and monitor are drawing energy but no useful work is being performed
(e.g., nights, weekends, holidays, and workday breaks).

• Moore’s Law + Design Innovations enable continuous,
relatively rapid improvements in computer energy-efficiency
• As a consequence: “Vintage Does Matter.” Older computers
are highly wasteful of energy and very costly to run, compared
to new models that might replace them – PCs as well as data
center servers
• Power management technology should be used on old and
new computers alike
28. Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
• For every 1,000 PCs your company begins using aggressive
power management, that equates to a savings of £9,000 per
year, plus air conditioning costs.1
• Savings will be even greater if you are currently committed to
carbon neutrality or reduction because you will reduce the
number of carbon offset credits needed by participating in
CSCI.
• Employing aggressive power management on 1,000 PCs can
save approximately 118.26 tons CO2 per year.2
• 1 carbon credit = 1 ton of CO2
• 1 carbon credit costs ~ £11.12
• 118.26 tons X £11.12 ~ £1,315 savings in carbon offset credits
per year
