Data Centres Can Cut Energy Use By Up To 30% With Just About 30 Lines of Code, Research Shows

Research has found that data centres can reduce their energy usage by up to 30% simply by altering around 30 lines of code in the Linux kernel’s network stack. Scientists from the University of Waterloo in Canada identified inefficiencies in the way servers process incoming network traffic. The breakthrough comes from interrupt request suspension, a technique that optimises CPU power…
