Abstract

The Institute for Energy Efficiency at UC Santa Barbara invites you to attend our 2022 Emerging Technologies Review. This year, IEE ETR will be a 2-day virtual workshop on January 20th & 21st. 

The ETR virtual workshops will cover new developments in: Energy Efficiency in Buildings in the Post-COVID-19 Era on January 20th, and Future Data Center Architectures and Increased Energy Efficiency on January 21st. Each virtual workshop will feature world class experts and leaders in that arena from industry, academia, and government. 

Day 2: Future Data Center Architectures and Increased Energy Efficiency

Friday, January 21st | 9:00 - 4:00 PST | Virtual Zoom Event

This virtual workshop will focus on architecture, communications and systems issues driving energy efficiency in the cloud and the data center. It will include talks from industry leaders including Katharine Schmidtke, Bharath Muthiah and Rob Stone from Meta Platforms,  Robert Blum from Intel, Robert Ober and Larry Denisson from NVIDIA, Manish Mehta from Broadcom, and talks from UCSB Professors John Bowers, Clint Schow, Yufei Ding, and Lei Li. It will include two panel sessions, one focused on cloud systems and architectural issues and the other on photonic data center communications and interconnects.
