That is a lot of expensive power. Can we cut the power requirement? We could, if we had a reliable way to benchmark power consumption across architectures. Which is what <a href=\"http:\/\/csl.stanford.edu\/%7Echristos\/publications\/2007.jsort.sigmod.pdf\">JouleSort: A Balanced Energy-Efficiency Benchmark<\/a> (PDF), by a team from HP and Stanford, tries to do.

The HP\/Stanford authors use the benchmark to design a power-efficient server \u2014 with a mobile processor and lots of I\/O \u2014 and to consider the role of software, RAM, and power supplies in power consumption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This sounds very good if you can try it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a story from slashdot about Benchmarking Power-Efficient Servers: Benchmarking Power-Efficient Servers Posted by kdawson on Tuesday August 21, @10:22AM from the fair-and-balanced dept. modapi writes &#8220;According to the EPA, data centers \u2014 not including Google et. al \u2014 are on track to double power consumption in the next five years, to 3% of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ryanorser.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
