The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, aims to develop innovative solutions to enable carbon-zero colocation data centers that support the booming artificial intelligence industry and digital economy.

Specifically, the project proposes to: (1) create a computationally-efficient mechanism to coordinate the allocation of intermittent green energy to different data center tenants; (2) develop a learning-based algorithm to dynamically provision tenants' servers to minimize the operational carbon footprint while keeping the embodied carbon footprint low; and (3) design an agile server power modulation framework that combines hardware and software power management knobs to track green energy availability. The research outcomes are expected to catalyze a shift in the management of multi-tenant colocation data centers, ultimately transforming the way the artificial intelligence industry and digital economy evolve.
