"Developing Open Access Resource Management Principles in a Consortial Environment: A University of California Model" #OpenAccess

“The results verify the hypothesis that flexible DR capacity is offered at a lower price on balancing markets compared to conventional generation resources, resulting in lower costs for grid operators to balance the grid, thus reducing societal costs for electricity provision and overall emissions through the integration of low-carbon balancing resources.”

The Cost Reduction Potential of Demand Response in Balancing Markets from a System Perspective
Demand response (DR) can potentially provide a cost-efficient alternative for balancing the electricity grid by replacing fossil-fuelled power plants for the provision of flexible capacity. This paper aims to quantify the cost reduction potential of DR from a system perspective. Historical data of balancing markets are studied using regression and average bid price analysis to quantify the effect of the participation of DR resources on the price of flexible capacity for the provision of balanci…

Multi-purpose AI models like GPT-4 use 'orders of magnitude' more energy than task-specific ones, research
There has been a surge in the popularity of products based on multi-purpose GenAI systems, which can handle images, video and text and carry out multiple different tasks. These multimodal or "zero-shot" models, including GPT-4 and PaLM, are finding their way into search engines, email and navigation.

ElasticRec: A Microservice-based Model Serving Architecture Enabling Elastic Resource Scaling for Recommendation Models
With the increasing popularity of recommendation systems (RecSys), the demand for compute resources in datacenters has surged. However, the model-wise resource allocation employed in current RecSys model serving architectures falls short in effectively utilizing resources, leading to sub-optimal total cost of ownership. We propose ElasticRec, a model serving architecture for RecSys providing resource elasticity and high memory efficiency. ElasticRec is based on a microservice-based software arc…
