Virginia Tech Mathematicians Use Algebraic Geometry to Reduce Data Centre Energy Use
Researchers at Virginia Tech have applied algebraic geometry to improve energy efficiency in data centres. By using advanced polynomials and error-correcting codes, they have developed a new method for data storage and retrieval that reduces the need for excessive data replication and energy-intensive searching. This approach helps address the grow...
