项目摘要

The growing environmental impacts of hardware acquisition and operation are significant concerns for scientific computing infrastructure deployed at universities and national laboratories. While significant interest in better models for systems operation and lifecycle exist, there are ecosystem challenges including lack of proven pathways and best practices. The Zero Carbon Compute project will convene leaders in the scientific computing infrastructure community, and connect them with leading ecosystem innovators in this space. The goal of the project is to create "best practices" that will catalyze the birth and growth of new lifecycle paths that both reduce the e-waste impact and carbon footprint of research scientific computing. The project will also work to create economic models of the extended lifecycles and broader ecosystem, focusing on economic incentives and the potential impact on the carbon footprint of scientific computing. The project will both increase computing capacity for the national scientific community and create radical reductions in power carbon footprint. The Zero Carbon Compute project will create new opportunities for computing innovation by leveraging the growing excess renewable power in US power grids and around the world. This rapidly growing excess provides both low-cost power and low-cost operation, even for aging computing equipment without increasing the carbon footprint of computing. The project will also convene the scientific computing community through a series of workshops and other methods to understand challenges and communicate the potential benefits of the proposed solutions. Materials generated from these community engagements will be used for wider outreach to the broader scientific computing community, and the cloud computing community. In addition, the project will create economic models of the extended lifecycles and broader ecosystem, focusing on economic incentives, market equilibria, and the potential impact on carbon footprint of scientific computing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

硬件采购和运行对环境的影响越来越大，这是大学和国家实验室部署的科学计算基础设施的重大关切。虽然人们对更好的系统运行和生命周期模型有很大的兴趣，但生态系统面临着挑战，包括缺乏经过验证的途径和最佳实践。零碳计算项目将召集科学计算基础设施社区的领导者，并将他们与该领域的领先生态系统创新者联系起来。该项目的目标是创建“最佳实践”，以促进新生命周期路径的诞生和发展，从而减少电子废物的影响和研究科学计算的碳足迹。该项目还将致力于创建延长生命周期和更广泛生态系统的经济模型，重点关注经济激励措施和对科学计算碳足迹的潜在影响。该项目将提高国家科学界的计算能力，并彻底减少电力碳足迹。零碳计算项目将通过利用美国电网和世界各地日益过剩的可再生能源，为计算创新创造新的机会。这种快速增长的过剩提供了低成本的电力和低成本的操作，即使是老化的计算设备，也不会增加计算的碳足迹。该项目还将通过一系列讲习班和其他方法召集科学计算界，以了解挑战并宣传拟议解决方案的潜在好处。从这些社区参与中产生的材料将用于更广泛的科学计算社区和云计算社区的更广泛的推广。此外，该项目还将创建延长生命周期和更广泛生态系统的经济模型，重点关注经济激励、市场均衡以及科学计算对碳足迹的潜在影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
