Sustainable Computing

Sustainable computing aims to mitigate the environmental impact of rapidly increasing computational demands, primarily driven by artificial intelligence and other data-intensive applications. Current research focuses on improving energy efficiency across the computing lifecycle, from hardware design (e.g., exploring neuromorphic computing and photonics) and optimized software development (e.g., using AI to generate more efficient code) to data center management (e.g., employing machine learning for workload scheduling and cooling optimization). These efforts are crucial for reducing computing's carbon footprint and ensuring the long-term sustainability of technological advancements, impacting both scientific research and broader societal goals.
