Tackling the data centre energy efficiency challenge

EEC blog

The Energy Efficient Computing Research (EECR) programme at the Hartree Centre is investigating ways of improving the efficiency of its data rooms.

Our aim is twofold: To increase the efficiency of our data rooms – maximising our utilisation while minimising our energy consumption, and also to develop our data rooms into a model of evolving best practice. Continue reading “Tackling the data centre energy efficiency challenge”

Why big data and cognitive computing are perfect partners

Welcome to our new Hartree Centre blog.

Our first few posts aim to shine a light on what’s happening here at Hartree and how this relates both to wider trends in cutting-edge computing and to the key challenges and opportunities facing UK industry today. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other a little better… so please do let us know what you think and what you’d like to hear from us about.

Let’s begin. If you’re fairly new to the world of big data, high performance computing and cognitive technologies then we hope that this is the place to start. So where better to kick off than with that ‘fashionable’ concept of big data… Continue reading “Why big data and cognitive computing are perfect partners”
