SUMMARY:How to Reduce Environmental Impact via Flexible Computing
DESCRIPTION:Ana Radovanovic (Google Research)\n\nThe growing climate impac
 t of increased Greenhouse Gas Emissions and CO2 levels in Earth's atmosphe
 re highlights the value and importance of technologies that reduce such im
 pact. Electricity generation is a significant contributor to global CO2 em
 issions, and the data center industry is expected to reach anywhere from 3
  to 13% of global electricity demand by 2030. Data centers can facilitate 
 grid decarbonization in a manner different from isolated power loads, and 
 Google has set on a mission to increase and scale carbon awareness via new
  technology solutions. We present an overview and enhancements of Google’s
  Carbon-Intelligent Computing System, and discuss technical challenges ass
 ociated with increasing and harnessing temporal and spatial flexibility of
  diverse workloads running in Google data centers. Furthermore, we share s
 ome insights from building systems that leverage different types of worklo
 ad flexibility to effectively increase resource efficiency and reduce envi
 ronmental impact, while meeting infrastructure and application SLOs. Final
 ly, we pause some key, open questions from our investigations of load shap
 ing strategies aimed not only to reduce grid-level emissions, but contribu
 te to energy systems’ more resilient, robust and cost-efficient decarboniz
 ation.\n\nDomain: Climate, Weather, and Earth Sciences, Engineering, Physi
 cs, Computational Methods and Applied Mathematics\n\nSession Chairs: Maria
  Girone (CERN), Valerio Pascucci (University of Utah), and Michela Taufer 
 (University of Tennessee)\n\n
