Peggy Smedley and Akshitha Sriraman, assistant professor, Carnegie Melon University, discuss new research and why it is important to design scalable and efficient data center systems. She says her research focuses on large-scale data center systems and how to make the servers more sustainable and circular.

They also discuss:

• Open-source tooling infrastructure and open-source datasets and benchmarks.
• The correlation between cost and carbon.
