Open Compute Project Foundation 2026

Introducing Power Compute Effectiveness (PCE), a Provisioned Capacity Allocation Metric for the New Data Center Era (October 2026)

Compute PCE automatically from the design model: utility/transformer capacity as P_facility, peak cooling electrical input at design ambient, UPS/transformer/busway losses and auxiliary panel loads, all on the declared redundancy basis.

  • Motor horsepower converts at HP x 0.746; kVA ratings convert to kW at the declared power factor.

Is PUE actually going UP?

In a PUE benchmark display, show the survey average next to the hyperscale range.

  • Average PUE rose from 1.58 in 2018 to 1.67 in 2019 (sample of 624).

Energy efficiency in HVAC systems with dry-cooler free-cooling applications (Kuru Soğutuculu Doğal Soğutma Uygulamaları ile İklimlendirme Sistemlerinde Enerji Verimliliği)

Use the paper's mode thresholds (approach of about 2 C for partial and about 5 C for full free cooling) as defaults in a free-cooling-hours estimator, fed by city bin data for Turkish sites.

  • Targets 24/7 loads such as server rooms and data centres.

LLMCarbon: Modeling the End-to-End Carbon Footprint of Large Language Models

In AI data-centre carbon estimation, compute operational (FLOPs, power, PUE, grid intensity) and embodied (chip area × CPA, memory and storage per GB) carbon together; in a renewable-powered facility embodied carbon rises to 92-95%.

  • Against published Google and Meta figures, error is 8.2% or less for training and -3.05% for embodied carbon.
