The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric which was first introduced by The Green Grid® in 2007 has become the de facto standard for measuring data center efficiency. But despite its prevalence, many data center operators are unclear on what PUE is, how it is calculated, and how it can...
While local environment and infrastructure can affect how PUE is calculated, there are also slight variations across providers. Here’s the simplest way to think about PUE. We design and build our datacenters toward the optimum PUE figure. We can also predict, with a high d...
What is PUE? PUE, or Power Usage Effectiveness, measures how effectively a data center uses energy. It’s calculated by dividing the total power delivered to a facility by the power used by the IT equipment alone. For example, if a facility consumes 100,000 kW of total power, and 80,00...
Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is the overall building power (or energy) divided by the IT power within the building. This metric for benchmarking efficiency is regularly used in the data center industry. However, questions persist regarding how it is calculated, measured and communicated to ...
Besides saving energy as much as possible, improving energy efficiency is also a must for data centers. Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is an important indicator to measure data centers’ energy efficiency. The closer the PUE is to 1, the higher power usage effectiveness of the data center is...
PUE is calculated by dividing the total amount of power used in a data center by the power used to run the computer infrastructure within it, after taking account of cooling, lighting, and other energy factors. PUE is therefore expressed as a ratio, with overall efficiency improving as it de...
The answer is simple: horsepower is calculated by multiplying the amount of force (in pounds) by the speed (in feet per second). So, let's say your car's engine can generate 200 pounds of force and move at a speed of 2 feet per second. The engine horsepower would be 400 (200 x ...
Measures such as power usage effectiveness (PUE) are available to help organizations gauge efficiency. PUE is calculated as the power entering the data center divided by the power used in the IT infrastructure. This yields a simple ratio that approaches 1.0 as efficiency approaches 100%, and the...
Profit switch is an advanced function for all GPUs or ASICs owners that want to switch to a different coin or multi-algo pool when the estimated reward of that coin increases. The estimated reward is calculated regarding the block reward, current difficulty, current coin price or regarding the...
