With all that’s being said about the growth in demand for AI, it’s no surprise that the topics of powering all that AI infrastructure and eking out every ounce of efficiency from these multi-million-dollar deployments are hot on the minds of those running the systems.  Each data center, be it a complete facility or a floor or room in a multi-use facility, has a power budget.  The question is how to get the most out of that power budget?

Balancing AI Innovation with Sustainability

Optimizing Data Management: Rapidly growing datasets that are surpassing the Petabyte scale equal rapidly growing opportunities to find efficiencies in handling the data.  Tried and true data reduction techniques such as deduplication and compression can significantly decrease computational load, storage footprint and energy usage – if they are performed efficiently. Technologies like SSDs with computational storage capabilities enhance data compression and accelerate processing, reducing overall energy consumption. Data preparation, through curation and pruning help in several ways – (1) reducing the data transferred across the networks, (2) reducing total data set sizes, (3) distributing part of the processing tasks and the heat that goes with them, and (4) reducing GPU cycles spent on data organization​.

Leveraging Energy-Efficient Hardware: Utilizing domain-specific compute resources instead of relying on the traditional general-purpose CPUs.  Domain-specific processors are optimized for a specific set of functions (such as storage, memory, or networking functions) and may utilize a combination of right-sized processor cores (as enabled by Arm with their portfolio of processor cores, known for their reduced power consumption and higher efficiency, which can be integrated into system-on-chip components), hardware state machines (such as compression/decompression engines), and specialty IP blocks. Even within GPUs, there are various classes of GPUs, each optimized for specific functions. Those optimized for AI tasks, such as NVIDIA’s A100 Tensor Core GPUs, enhance performance for AI/ML while maintaining energy efficiency.

Adopting Green Data Center Practices: Investing in energy-efficient data center infrastructure, such as advanced cooling systems and renewable energy sources, can mitigate the environmental impact. Data centers consume up to 50 times more energy per floor space than conventional office buildings, making efficiency improvements critical.  Leveraging cloud-based solutions can enhance resource utilization and scalability, reducing the physical footprint and associated energy consumption of data centers.
