  • Harnessing Renewable Energy in Cloud Datacenters: Opportunities and Challenges
    LIU_LAYOUT.qxp_Layout 1 1/15/14 11:42 AM Page 48 http://www.paper.edu.cn 中国科技论文在线 Harnessing Renewable Energy in Cloud Datacenters: Opportunities and Challenges Wei Deng, Fangming Liu, and Hai Jin, Services Computing Technology and System Lab, Cluster and Grid Computing Lab in the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong Univer- sity of Science and Technology Bo Li, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Dan Li, Tsinghua University Abstract The proliferation of cloud computing has promoted the wide deployment of large- scale datacenters with tremendous power consumption and high carbon emission. To reduce power cost and carbon footprint, an increasing number of cloud service providers have considered green datacenters with renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind. However, unlike the stable supply of grid energy, it is challeng- ing to utilize and realize renewable energy due to the uncertain, intermittent and variable nature. In this article, we provide a taxonomy of the state-of-the-art research in applying renewable energy in cloud computing datacenters from five key aspects, including generation models and prediction methods of renewable energy, capacity planning of green datacenters, intra-datacenter workload schedul- ing and load balancing across geographically distributed datacenters. By explor- ing new research challenges involved in managing the use of renewable energy in datacenters, this article attempts to address why, when, where and how to lever- age renewable energy in datacenters, also with a focus on future research avenues. ransitioning from fossil fuels to the use of renewable To measure how clean is a datacenter, the Green Grid energy sources, such as solar and wind, to power cloud organization proposes a new sustainability metric, carbon computing datacenters is a hot research topic today.

  • 2019-2020 Annual Report/Honor Roll
    Manhattan Beach Education Foundation Annual Report & Honor Roll 2019-2020 Dear Friends of MBEF – You make it possible. Year after year, you — the parents, business leaders, educators, and neighbors of our community — recognize that great schools begin with strong foundations. Together we have committed to opportunities that invite our students to dream, to think, and to engage in what is possible. Because of your commitment, this year the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation (MBEF) will make its largest grant to the Manhattan Beach Unified School District in its history — an investment of $7.5 million to strengthen our schools. We invite you to learn more about the specific programs MBEF will fund for the coming 2020-21 school year in this Annual Report & Honor Roll — the programs you helped make possible. Despite district budget cuts this year, support of MBEF continues to strengthen the academic journey of all students, from learning in smaller class sizes The Power to supporting learning from home. The road ahead remains full of challenges for our schools. The uncertainty around continued distance learning and the significant structural deficit in state funding are among the largest. But our community has proven that we are up to the challenge. We are steadfast in our efforts to grow local support of our schools — through MBEF’s Annual Appeal, of Possible the Endowment, and other critical initiatives — for the students of today and tomorrow. Thank you for standing with MBEF and our commitment to providing excellent educational opportunities for our children here in Manhattan Beach. We look forward to shaping what is possible together.

  • SSBCI-Quarterly-Report-Summary-4Q-2013.Pdf
    1 Summary On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-240) (the Act), which created programs to encourage small business lending, including the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). SSBCI provides $1.5 billion to support new and existing state programs that provide lending to, and invest in, small businesses and small manufacturers. SSBCI is expected to help spur up to $15 billion in additional private sector lending and investing to small businesses and small manufacturers. States do this by using federal funds for programs that leverage private lending and investing to help finance small businesses that are creditworthy, but do not have sufficient access to capital necessary to expand and create jobs. To be eligible for funds, each State had to demonstrate a reasonable expectation that it would be able to leverage each federal $1 to generate $10 in new small business lending or investing. In 2011 and 2012, Treasury approved applications on a rolling basis and signed Allocation Agreements with 47 states, the District of Columbia, five territories and four consortia of municipalities in three states (for simplicity each participating entity will be referred to as a “State”). North Dakota and Wyoming did not apply for SSBCI funding, and Alaska withdrew its application. States could divide their allocation among several types of small business support programs: Loan Participation Programs (LPPs): Venture Capital Programs (VCPs), Loan Guarantee Programs (LGPs), Collateral Support Programs (CSPs) and Capital Access Programs (CAPs). States receive SSBCI funding in three equal disbursements which are paid out based on cumulative funds expended, obligated or transferred.1 • Disbursements exceeded $1 billion: As of December 31, 2013, $1,004,122,392 out of $1,457,567,480 or 69 percent of total allocations were disbursed.
