Considering the ubiquity of smart devices and the increasing data demands of artificial intelligence (AI), the amount of energy required to operate data centres continues to grow dramatically.
“In every stage of the life of the building – planning, construction, and occupation – there are optimization problems to solve,” says Dr. Levent Tunçel, professor in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization. “That’s true of every major building project, and it’s true of M4.”
The Green Room, an innovative server room in Waterloo’s new Mathematics 4 building, will apply an efficiency lens to computing research and education
Donors, alumni, faculty, staff and students gathered on October 28 to celebrate the official groundbreaking for Mathematics 4 (M4), the new Faculty of Mathematics building that begins construction this fall.
M4 will provide our students with dynamic classrooms, lounges and event spaces that will allow them to explore, create and collaborate on a whole new level. It will equip researchers and students with powerful computational tools and state-of-the-art lab spaces that will accelerate their world-changing research–particularly in fields like data science and AI. And it will unite our whole math community, forging new connections at the intersection of disciplines and bridging academia, industry and government to achieve global impact.
