In this blog post, we will talk about identifying data deduplication’s break-even point (a threshold) that separates the cases when it is worth or not deduplicating data from an energy or performance perspective. What is data deduplication? Read more…
In this blog post, we will talk about Greenup, Powerup, and Speedup Metrics that can be used to evaluate software energy efficiency. Why software energy efficiency metrics are needed? The standard on evaluating software emphasizes performance but lacks Read more…
In this blog post, we will talk about ARM big.LITTLE Technology which is widely used in mobile phones nowadays. The development and design of next-generation mobile processors are necessarily guided by the following factors: At the high-performance Read more…
Google made headlines recently when they announced “Quantum Supremacy”—the point at which quantum computers have surpassed the most capable traditional computers—which can be found on their blog here. IBM was quick to refute this claim Read more…
GreenIT has emerged as a discipline concerned with the optimization of software solutions with regards to their energy consumption. In this domain, most of the state-of-the-art solutions concentrate on coarse-grained approaches to monitor the energy Read more…
Network pruning is widely used for reducing the heavy inference cost of deep models in low-resource settings. A typical pruning algorithm is a three-stage pipeline, i.e., training (a large model), pruning and fine-tuning. During pruning, according Read more…
Faster is better? Energy efficiency is now a driving force in system design. Most of the manufacturers tend to boost processor power and speed in response to utilization and operate on the principal that higher Read more…
In this blog post, we will go through the features of a new programming paradigm, A Corelet Language for TrueNorth cognitive computing system which is inspired by the brain’s function and efficiency. What is the TrueNorth Read more…
In this blog post, we will talk about a comprehensive study on the power behavior and energy efficiency of CNNs on both CPUs and GPUs. What is Convolutional Neural Network? At a high level, Convolutional Neural Read more…
In this blog post, we will explore technology that is pushing the boundaries of the current storage state-of-the-art. Although in its infancy, research involving synthesizing DNA for data storage continues to improve, and the paper Read more…
