Server Energy

A very interesting site if you are a technologist such as myself
and also have an interest in energy:

It is about Parallel Programming and how to make efficient use
of multi core processing.

How does this affect energy?

Power consumption.

More efficient use of power used for processing means less wasted
energy, and we can all agree that is a good thing.

This technology doesn't necessarily lower power
consumption, but it does however allow a more efficient use
of what you are already consuming. Smarter use of energy.

I think eventually that will help lower energy use,
if you can do your work more efficiently and waste less
power, you are less likely to add more processing power,
which means you will ultimately use less power.

Baby steps.
