Energy Leadership Lecture: Advances in Energy Efficiency through Cloud and ML
October 20, 2017 @ 4:30 am PDT
Energy Leadership Lecturer Dr. Urs Holzle presents Advances in Energy Efficiency through Cloud and ML
UC Santa Barbara’s Institute for Energy Efficiency is excited to welcome Dr. Urs Hölzle, Senior Vice President, Technical Infrastructure & Google Fellow, as an Energy Leadership Lecture on October 20, 2017.
Today, the IT industry accounts for about 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, comparable to the footprint of the air travel. This footprint includes everything from datacenters and servers to networks and client equipment like laptops and printers. More and more information is being generated every day, and more and more consumers and enterprises are processing this information every day. Will IT emissions eclipse air travel one day soon?
I think the answer is a clear “no”: IT energy will decrease, and perhaps decrease significantly, over the next decade. To find out why, please join us at the talk.
Please join us in the Corwin Pavilion at UC Santa Barbara on October 20, 2017 at 4:30pm.
