Energy Proportional Edge Computing Infrastructure
summary
Prototype shows ~30% energy reduction by shifting video-analytics workloads from host CPU to a network IPU and turning off CPU slices; a model for 42,000 edge sites projects about $70M/year saved and ~140M kg CO2 avoided. Uses Energy Proportional Edge Computing Infrastructure with intent-driven orchestration that applies IPU offload and SST power management, plus time- and space-shifting across off-grid solar sites and federated observability to predict when to move or scale workloads.
