Evaluating architecture impact on system energy efficiency

Evaluating architecture impact on system energy efficiency

As the energy consumption has been surging in an unsustainable way, it is important to understand the impact of existing architecture designs from energy efficiency perspective, which is especially valuable for High Performance Computing (HPC) and datacenter environment hosting tens of thousands of servers. One obstacle hindering the advance of comprehensive evaluation on energy efficiency is t...

Multivariate Methods for Evaluating Building Energy Efficiency

For an owner or operator of a building, benchmarking can be a useful guide for finding out how energy efficient the building is and identifying what to improve. For successful evaluation of the building energy efficiency, the categorization as well as the parameter identification has decisive importance. That selection can be based on mathematical modeling such as linear regression accompanied ...

Evaluating Energy Efficiency Improvements in Manufacturing Processes

Global warming, rising energy prices and increasing awareness of “green” customers have brought energy efficient manufacturing on top of the agenda of governments as well as of industrial companies. The industrial sector still accounts for about 33% of the final energy consumption. This paper will contribute to a more energy efficient manufacturing by demonstrating how energy efficiency can be ...

Evaluating impact of truck announcements on container stacking efficiency

Container stacking rules are an important factor in container terminal efficiency. We build on prior research and use a discrete-event simulation model to evaluate the impact of a truck announcement system on the performance of online container stacking rules. The information that is contained in the announcement, i.e., the expected departure time for an import container, can be used to schedul...
