How to Make Data Centers More Efficient

Applications for AI are growing by leaps and bounds, which means we need many more data centers to handle the vast computing workload. Providing power to run all of them is a serious challenge. Part of the solution is to reduce their energy load by making them more efficient. The computing circuits could be designed to minimize losses, and the most efficient semiconductors can be chosen. But there is an upper limit to the efficiency of the electronics — there will always be losses in the form of heat.
