As part of the Expeditions in Computing program, the National Science Foundation awarded three academic cohorts funding to leverage emerging technologies into computing for more environmentally-friendly infrastructure.
The National Science Foundation will be awarding $36 million in funding to three energy-efficient computing projects, part of a larger agency program aimed at reducing the carbon footprint created by modern computing needs.
Announced on Thursday as part of the NSF’s Expeditions in Computing program, the three projects feature leading collaborators from academic institutions: Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Texas at Austin.
Each project focuses on decarbonization efforts, or reducing the amount of carbon emissions generated through energy use required to fuel computer infrastructures.
The project helmed by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin will work to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning systems to help optimize computing performance and reduce the energy consumption within cloud computing softwares.
