Wednesday, July 17, 2024 Singapore , a leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) hub, is tackling this challenge head-on by fostering the development of sustainable AI solutions. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms industries worldwide, concerns regarding the immense energy consumption of powering AI models are rising. Singapore’s Commitment to Sustainable AI Infrastructure Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.
0 and 2024 Budget allocation of S$500 million for high-performance computing resources demonstrate the nation’s dedication to fostering a robust and sustainable AI ecosystem. Additionally, the “Green Data Centre Roadmap” aims to expand data center capacity by 300 megawatts while implementing best-in-class energy efficiency technologies. This commitment ensures both AI growth and environmental responsibility.
Data Centers: The Powerhouse (and Challenge) of AI While data centers are the backbone of AI, their energy demands are significant. The next generation of powerful GPUs, like NVIDIA’s Blackwell series, requires even more power, further escalating concerns. Sustainable Metal Cloud (SMC): A Singaporean Innovation Singapore-founded SMC is pioneering sustainable AI solutions with its highly energy-efficient GPU data center hosting technology.
Utilizing innovative HyperCube immersion cooling, SMC achieves a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.031, a significant reduction in energy consumption. When combined with further hardware-level efficiencies, SMC’s A.
