METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ASSIGN WORKLOADS BASED ON EMISSIONS ESTIMATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240193617 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 estimated emissions.
- Programmable circuitry is used to obtain estimates of emissions for executing a workload on different hardware.
- The system then assigns the hardware that will produce fewer emissions, even if it requires more time or memory to execute the workload.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in data centers to reduce carbon emissions by optimizing hardware usage. - It can also be applied in IoT devices to minimize environmental impact.
Problems Solved: - Reduces carbon footprint by selecting hardware with lower emissions. - Optimizes resource usage based on environmental considerations.
Benefits: - Environmental impact reduction. - Efficient resource allocation. - Cost savings in the long run.
Commercial Applications: "Green Computing: Optimizing Hardware for Emissions Reduction"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system determine the estimates of emissions for different hardware? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in hardware optimization for environmental sustainability.
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.
