Project duration: 2024 - 2029
MISD
Modular Integrated Sustainable Datacenters
Project summary:
As the need for more sustainable computing and communication infrastructures grows, in the realm of climate change, the aim of MISD is to develop a new modular, sustainable and secure-by-design concept to be deployed in places close to end users (edge computing) so that significant reduction in total energy consumption, from cooling to computing power and data flows, can be achieved. The MISD consortium will design, develop, and validate in a fieldlab innovative solutions, both in hardware and software, toward this target.
Within the MISD scope, our work focuses on designing and developing new AI solutions along two complementary research lines: adaptive algorithms for online resource allocation and scalable energy-efficient deep learning algorithms. These AI solutions will support more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable datacenters.
MISD project has a total dedicated budget of €53 million whilst a total of €34 million will be received from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate under the European Important Projects of Common European Interest – Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS) program for 2024-2029. The consortium consists of Asperitas, BetterBe, Deerns, Eurofiber, NBIP, TNO and University of Twente. More details on the consortium and the project are available on the project website.
