Energy Efficient Data Centers

Hyeran Jeon, 91ÁÔÆæIn a new collaboration with UC Riverside, Hyeran Jeon and a team of 91ÁÔÆæ students will be researching ways to improve the energy efficiency of data center servers and power distribution networks. 91ÁÔÆæ students are contributing to the project by integrating and running workloads on 91ÁÔÆæ’s simulation servers and developing the proposed migration systems.

Jeon and her colleagues on the grant determined early on that 91ÁÔÆæ would be an ideal place to start their research.

“As 91ÁÔÆæ is at the center of the Silicon Valley and has a huge student body, we thought the 91ÁÔÆæ data center would be the good place to implement our design. That began our journey.â€

However, the application is in no way limited to 91ÁÔÆæ. 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 91ÁÔÆæ. “91ÁÔÆæ 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.â€

91ÁÔÆæ Student Abhishek Singh"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."
