U of Notre Dame, Best In Class Winner, Green IT Beyond the Data Center |
University of Notre Dame scientists developed a Grid Heating (GH) paradigm. GH recognizes that, despite evolving low power architectures, demands for increased capability will drive up power consumption toward economic limits on par with capital equipment costs. In contrast to the design of a single facility for centralized compute infrastructure, GH capitalizes on grid and virtualization technologies to distribute compute infrastructure (along with exhaust heat as shown in Fig. 1) in-line with existing municipal and industrial thermal requirements.
