A faster way to estimate AI power consumption

Due to the explosive growth of artificial intelligence, it is estimated that data centers will consume up to 12 percent of total U.S. electricity by 2028, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Improving data center energy efficiency is one way scientists are striving to make AI more sustainable.Toward that goal, researchers from MIT and the […]

Reflecting on 50 years of environmental innovation

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, this Earth Day carries special meaning for us at SAS. For me, it’s also a moment to step back and evaluate what has worked and what it really takes to sustain environmental progress over time. Reflecting on five decades of environmental stewardship, we didn’t […] The post Reflecting on

How data helps protect climate displaced communities in Uganda

Most powerful stories begin with people. For IOM Uganda, that means individuals and communities uprooted by disasters and climate-driven migration. Their work sits at the intersection of uncertainty, where movement, risk and response are constantly shifting, often without a clear picture of what’s happening in real time. When SAS Data […] The post How data

Helping data centers deliver higher performance with less hardware

To improve data center efficiency, multiple storage devices are often pooled together over a network so many applications can share them. But even with pooling, significant device capacity remains underutilized due to performance variability across the devices.MIT researchers have now developed a system that boosts the performance of storage devices by handling three major sources

Working to advance the nuclear renaissance

Today, there are 94 nuclear reactors operating in the United States, more than in any other country in the world, and these units collectively provide nearly 20 percent of the nation’s electricity. That is a major accomplishment, according to Dean Price, but he believes that our country needs much more out of nuclear energy, especially

Preview tool helps makers visualize 3D-printed objects

Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices. Accurate print previews are essential so users know a fabricated object will perform as expected.But previews generated by most 3D-printing software focus on function rather than aesthetics. A printed object may end up

Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions

It happens every day — a motorist heading across town checks a navigation app to see how long the trip will take, but they find no parking spots available when they reach their destination. By the time they finally park and walk to their destination, they’re significantly later than they expected to be.Most popular navigation

3 Questions: How AI could optimize the power grid

Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news — some AI tools have the potential to reduce some forms of energy consumption and enable cleaner grids.One
