Luiz Barroso from Google is speaking about Energy Efficient Operations. Computing has a great track record of having a positive impact on society. The world needs more computing. But more computing means more energy (usually). World energy use of servers is around 1% of total electricity consumption. Making efficient computers is harder than making efficient refrigerators. Efficiency is computing speed divided by power usage. But that's too simple. For a server, you have to take into account the efficiency of the compute efficiency, server efficiency, and data center efficiency. These get multiplied together. Ugh. Data centers are underutilized which
