Projects

Current Projects:

• CoolEmAll: The main goal of CoolEmAll is to provide advanced simulation, visualisation and decision support tools along with blueprints of computing building blocks for modular data centre environments. Once developed, these tools and blueprints should help to minimise the energy consumption, and consequently the CO₂ emissions of the whole IT infrastructure with related facilities. This will be achieved by:

  • Design of diverse types of computing building blocks (ComputeBox Blueprints) well defined by energy efficiency metrics;

  • Development of simulation, visualisation and decision support toolkit (SVD Toolkit) that will enable analysis and optimization of IT infrastructures built of these building blocks;

  Both computing boxes and the toolkit should take into account three aspects that have major impact on actual energy consumption: cooling model, application properties, and workload and resource management policies.
