Algebraic Geometry Brings Energy-Efficiency Solutions to Modern Data Centers The relentless demand for data sharing, storage security and accessibility comes at a steep cost: power consum ption. To address this, Virginia Tech mathematicians em ploy algebraic geometry to o ptimize data center inefficiencies. Addressing the Energy Demands of Data Centers "As individuals, we constantly generate massive amounts of data, which is dwarfed by the  production levels of large cor porations," remarked Gretchen Matthews, a mathematics  professor and director of the Southwest Virginia node of the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative. "Without intelligent alternatives, backing u p this data could require du plicating it two or three times over." The Role of Algebraic Geometry in Reducing Energy Consum ption To reduce the energy demands of data re plication, Matthews and Hiram Lo pez, Assistant  professor of mathematics, investigated the use of algebraic structures to fragment informat...
