Energy-efficiency study and optimisation of parallel lattice simulations using the Grid library on NVIDIA A100-GPUs integrated in the STFC DiRAC "Tursa" system in Edinburg, based on ATOS XH2000 racks.

Datacentre developers in Norway are shifting their focus to energy efficiency, with expected increases in taxation for those who fall short

Unearthing Energy Efficiency: Termites inspire a revolutionary approach for energy-efficient buildings. Why it matters: At a time when reducing energy consumption in buildings remains a priority, lessons from termite mounds offer valuable insights in designing sustainable, "living and breathing" structures. The bigger picture: Termites construct complex mounds using intricate tunnel networks that circulate air,…

In a new study, researchers built a battery out of paper and non-toxic inks. The green battery can power small, low-power electronics with the voltage of a standard AA battery.

But policy uncertainty could hit investment plans

Sealing leaky windows, filling gaps in doors, and installing efficient insulation will not only decrease wasteful energy usage, it also may reduce rodent infestations, a new study recently published in Environmental Research Letters found.

"Over the next decade, we must think of energy efficiency as the most important challenge," Lisa Su, CEO of AMD told engineers at the 2023 IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco.

Learn why energy and carbon are different problems requiring different solutions.

Discerning which eco-friendly web host is best for businesses

In this article, we'll compare the energy efficiency of apartments and house rentals, helping you make an informed decision.

Microsoft wants to know if Xbox gamers are concerned about the power consumption of their consoles.

Quantum computers have attracted considerable interest of late for their potential to crack problems in a few hours where they might take the age of the universe (i.e., tens of billions of years) on the best supercomputers. Their real-life applications are manifold and range from drugs and materials design to solving complex optimization problems. They are therefore primarily intended for scientific and industrial…

Dutch-based BlockchainLab Drenthe has introduced large-scale real-world adoption of the IOTA blockchain, IOTA wrote on their blog

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratory have successfully tested a new power system based on a closed-loop Brayton cycle to deliver electricity to the grid. The system could dramatically increase the efficiency of power plants including current and new advanced reactor systems as well as gas-fired and concentrated solar plants.

Examining a city's magnetic footprint can be used to monitor the health of that city, including a possible early warning system for trouble with pollution and as a tool for optimizing energy conservation.

A new paper describes how Google's Cloud TPU v4 outperforms TPU v3 by 2.1x on a per-chip basis, and improves performance/Watt by 2.7x.
