Organizations across the globe are facing growing pressure to address climate change, and companies providing computing services are no exception.
The existing cloud services combined with the more recent growth in machine intelligence are rapidly increasing the demand for compute resources and outpacing hardware efficiency improvements. This talk covers carbon emissions from a computer architecture perspective. It examines the emissions associated with at-scale computing -- from the manufacturing of the devices to the grids used to power data centers -- and provides insight into architectural solutions that may address carbon emissions. The talk concludes with a discussion of upcoming challenges facing the computing industry as sustainable solutions such as renewable energy intersect with an ever-growing power demand from data centers.
