[There is another exciting research initiative at University of Cambridge
called Computing for the Future of the Planet there is very much in line
with similar initiatives at MIT, Rutgers/Princeton and CANARIE Green IT
program. I have summarized these various initiatives below-BSA]
Computing for the Future of the Planet
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/~ah12/>
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/~ah12/
Computing (computers, communications, applications) will make a major and
crucial contribution to ensuring a sustainable future for society and the
planet. Computing is an important tool that will enable developing societies
to improve their standard of living without undue impact on the environment.
At the same time, it will enhance the ability of developed societies to
maintain their economic success while reducing their use of natural
resources. The greater wealth generated using computing may reduce
population growth and its problematic impact on the physical world.
Cost- and Energy-Aware Load Distribution Across Data Centers
<http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~ricardob/papers/hotpower09.pdf>
http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~ricardob/papers/hotpower09.pdf
Geographical distribution of the data centers often exposes many
opportunities for optimizing energy consumption and costs by intelligently
distributing the computational workload
Green data centers can decrease brown energy consumption by 35% by
leveraging the green data centers at only a 3% cost increase
Cutting the Electric Bill for Internet-Scale Systems
<http://ccr.sigcomm.org/online/files/p123.pdf>
http://ccr.sigcomm.org/online/files/p123.pdf
Companies that have lots of data centers can take advantage of cheap
bandwidth, smart software and fluctuating hourly energy prices to shift
computing power to a data center in a location where it's an off-peak time
of the day and energy prices are low. substantial margin (45% maximum
savings
