In a new study appearing in IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, TSYS School
assistant professor of computer science Yi
Zhou and colleagues from Jinan University (China) and the University of
Exeter (United Kingdom) examine the role of data replica placement in the
mushrooming growth of data volumes. As
they indicate, data
replica placement plays a key role in promoting the energy efficiency and
service quality of data-intensive data centers. Data replica placement is the process of placing duplicate copies of data in the most
appropriate node in a data grid. The study
by Zhou and his colleagues assert that the existing data placement strategies mainly focus
on storage performance improvement or service quality enhancement in data
centers, but ignore the ubiquitous issue of heat recirculation. To fill this void, the new study proposes a
thermal-aware data replica placement strategy called TADRP, which aims to
improve cooling efficiency and minimize the total power consumption of
data-intensive data centers. This
strategy works to place data replicas in disk sequences in a way that conserves
cooling costs, total power consumption and execution time. In their comparison of TADRP to four
alternative strategies, they find that TADRP reduces cooling costs by 14.7% to
61.7%, and total power consumption by 19.2% to 55.1%, both without undesirable
performance lags.
The Turner College's new marketing intern Lizzy Grant , a senior marketing major from Newnan who previously attended Gordon State College, where she played varsity soccer, and is scheduled to graduate from the Turner College in May of 2024, has hit the ground running in her new position. She recently played a large role in the creation of a video tour of the Synovus Center, the main campus home of the Turner College. The video helps to guide new students on where to go in the building and who they can talk to if they help. The video showcases the Student Services Center, the main lobby, and more. The video is played as part of a loop on video screens placed throughout the Synovus Center. Lizzy's list of activities at CSU is impressive. She is the Treasurer of the Turner College's Marketing Club, the President of Marketing for the Turner College's chapter of the Financial Management Association, and an Ambassador for the Turner College. She is also the Treasurer of her s
