Description
Summary:Energy efficiency is a key part of the European energy policies and 2020 climate targets. Project OPERA is working to create an energy aware workload manager for heterogeneous systems that will allow microservices to migrate between systems with differing instruction set architectures. The Energy savings potential of such technologies is enormous and is estimated at 47 TWh per year in Europe, 95% of the energy consumed by servers in Europe. The impact of such technologies on datacenter operations is profound. Significant and fast variations in power draw over time are expected, a fact that operators need to consider when retrofitting or designing new facilities.
