The computing accomplished by data centers has become
an indispensable part of modern society. The energy
requirements and efficiency of large-scale computing in
its current form provide a challenge on at least two fronts:
- They struggle to
adapt to the use of
renewable energy
sources - They were designed
for processing data
in terms of a web 2.0
model, which can create
unnecessary waste.
We propose a solution in the form of modular data
centers (MDCs). Shifting to a batch processing computing
model more suited to web 3.0 allows for greater flexibility
in power grids, the efficient integration of renewable
energy sources at scale, and a reduction in overall waste
or “digital exhaust.”
