(Phys.org) —Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego, and Google have developed a novel approach that allows the massive infrastructure powering cloud computing to run more efficiently. The new approach can make these warehouse-scale computers run as much as 15 to 20 percent more efficiently. This novel model has already been applied at Google. Researchers presented their findings at the IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture conference Feb. 23 to 27 in China. http://phys.org/news281862946.html Technology Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:16:04 EST news281862946 (PhysOrg.com) -- Computational sprinting is a groundbreaking new approach to smartphone power and cooling that could give users dramatic, brief bursts of computing capability to improve current applications and make new ones possible. http://phys.org/news249719041.html Technology Wed, 29 Feb 2012 06:24:08 EST news249719041 Billions of dollars lost each year as waste heat from industrial processes can be converted into electricity with a technology being developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. http://phys.org/news224782190.html Technology Mon, 16 May 2011 16:30:06 EST news224782190 Roman Lysecky, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at The University of Arizona, has been awarded a grant of more than $400,000 by the National Science Foundation to develop high-performance customizable computer chips. http://phys.org/news158948889.html Technology Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:28:48 EST news158948889
