Mapping High-Tech Energy Could Improve Electronics
New and better ways of measuring high-tech energy consumption could lead to significant environmental and economic gains, a study from The Australian National Univ. has found. Researchers from ANU, the Univ. of Texas at Austin and the Univ. of Washington have completed the first systematic profile of microprocessors – the integrated computer chips that act as a central processing unit in electronic devices like smart phones, computers and giant data centers.
Steve Blackburn from the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science, who led the study with Prof. Kathryn McKinley from the Univ. of Texas at Austin and their students, says that the findings could help lower the energy costs of electronic devices ranging from small mobile devices, supercomputers to massive server farms.
