Fundamentals of Energy Harvesting and the Cloud

EE Times

This fundamentals course covers an unusually wide range of topics beginning with the gigawatts required to power the Cloud and concluding with the need to develop more energy-efficient transistors. Just as the Cloud can be viewed as a torrent of bits, so the most elegant solution to its growing energy appetite is to make the switching of electrons significantly more energy efficient. In between, we look at representative energy efficiency technologies and their Cloud-related applications.
