METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ASSIGN WORKLOADS BASED ON EMISSIONS ESTIMATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18542370 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ASSIGN WORKLOADS BASED ON EMISSIONS ESTIMATES
The patent application describes a system that determines the hardware to execute a workload based on emissions estimates and resource utilization.
- Programmable circuitry obtains emissions estimates for executing a workload on different hardware.
- The system assigns the hardware with lower emissions or resource utilization to execute the workload.
- The assigned hardware may require more time or memory to complete the workload.
Potential Applications: - Green computing initiatives - Energy-efficient data centers - Carbon footprint reduction strategies
Problems Solved: - Reducing emissions from computing activities - Optimizing resource utilization in hardware selection
Benefits: - Lower environmental impact - Cost savings from efficient resource allocation
Commercial Applications: - Data centers - Cloud computing providers - Environmental consulting firms
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the emissions estimates for different hardware? 2. What factors are considered when assigning the workload to specific hardware?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on energy-efficient computing - Research on emissions reduction strategies in data centers
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes programmable circuitry to at least: obtain a first response associated with an estimate of emissions to be produced by execution of a workload on first hardware; obtain a second response associated with an estimate of emissions to be produced by execution of the workload on second hardware; and assign one of the first or the second hardware to execute the workload based on the first response and the second response, the assigned one of the first or the second hardware to at least one of utilize more time or more memory to execute the workload than the other of the first or the second hardware.
