A wide spectrum of topics ranging from the use of renewable energy over the control and optimisation of infrastructure services and emissions, demand response techniques to federation of distributed data centres.
This year, beside established topics, we will discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) on data centers. This technology can help to improve data centers in all areas, where mastering an increased system complexity results into higher efficiency, less emissions, more automation or better integration. This technology will foreseeably need optimized data center architectures and, analogous to the HPC data centers, challenge the one fits all concept and demand specialized variations. In addition to the focus on energy informatics, we specifically welcome interdisciplinary works.

The main goal of the E²DC workshop is to study innovative methods to improve efficiency and sustainability of data centres - important and ever growing group of energy consumers. Importantly, E²DC concentrates on a broader context of data centre ecosystem by investigation of interactions with smart cities and smart grids. Hence, the workshop discusses topics such as the use of renewable energy, optimisation of cooling and heat re-use, demand response techniques, federation of distributed data centres and many more. At E²DC 2020, we would like to discuss how emerging AI technologies can help in improvements of DCs efficiency, reliability, and their interaction with external dynamically growing systems such as smart cities, smart grids, heat re-use networks, renewable energy sources, and edge computing systems.

Title: The 4 Es of Edge Data Centers

Speaker: Jon Summers (Scientific Leader in Data Centres, Research Institutes of Sweden, Swedish Institute of Computer Science (RISE SICS) North)

For more than 10 years the data center sector has been improving its End use Energy demand in the face of unprecedented growth by using metrics that focus not on Efficiency, but Effectiveness. The trend to centralise processing and data into the cloud, which does offer most the Economy of scale, is developing a data center ecosystem that is centralised around megascale core data centers. However, the elements (humans and machines) that interact with these large scale data centers are distributed and more and more require data to be everywhere and in particular nearby. In a parody of the Vs of Big Data, this presentation will make use of as many technical and scientific facts as possible to reflect on the potential Es of Edge of network data centers, which may become the Effective Economic Energy-Efficient Exergetic infrastructure of the future.

One challenge of society is to reach the United Nation’s max 2°C-climate change goal, which means to reduce at least 80% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. With an increasing share of global industry’s carbon footprint data centres have a high responsibility towards this goal. Innovations like new efficient and energy proportional server generations, energy-aware workload management, or highly responsive data center designs have contributed to slowing down the formerly sharp increase of data centres’ energy demand. However, the ongoing global digitization is counteracting this development. E2DC offers the opportunity for researchers of all data centre domains to commonly advance the potential of yet unknown innovations in order to continue the race for sustainability in and by data centers.

With the total consumption of data centres worldwide surpassing the energy consumption of, among others, countries like Sweden, investing into the energy efficiency of data centres means to invest into the future, both of the planet and of the data centre. This is a challenge that the international workshop on energy efficient data centres E2DC takes up for the third time in 2014: Increasing the energy efficiency of data centres is a first step at decoupling the rising need for communication and computation from the ecological footprint of data centres.
