AI for Data Centers: Research Highlights Gaps in Energy Optimization Studies

A new research paper analyzes the current state of artificial intelligence in data center energy optimization, identifying significant gaps in existing studies. The paper screens 194 related articles, coding 63, and finds that most control-oriented studies rely solely on simulations and do not account for water withdrawal or embodied carbon. The authors propose CLEAR-DC, a framework designed to couple control policies with workload demand, providing a more comprehensive assessment of net benefits and covering energy, carbon, water, and embodied carbon. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for more comprehensive AI models in data center energy optimization, considering factors beyond direct energy savings.

    Artificial Intelligence for Energy Optimization in Data Centers

    arXiv:2609.03716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data centers are increasingly optimized by artificial intelligence and, at the same time, increasingly loaded by it. The literature treats these as two unrelated problems: control studies model workload as an exogenous arrival proce…
