Grant: Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grants
Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology
$109,743.00
Equipment to Support Research in Hyperscale Technology for Enterprise Computing
FY 2013-14
Summary
The computer industry is facing a dilemma: there is a huge and steadily increasing demand for datacentre computing capability, but the energy, space, and cooling requirements of these datacentres is straining an already-fragile electrical grid and threatening the environment. Harnessing technology originally developed for mobile applications, emerging low-energy, high-density hyperscale computer systems are a solution to this dilemma.This equipment grant supports applied research into the commercial use of this new technology in enterprise datacentres, specifically validating the combined use of new hyperscale hardware with software from the Seneca OSTEP applied research program. The techniques, requirements, and protocols developed will equip partners to minimize datacentre costs and environmental impact.
