... center will become increasingly important. The optimization of such an infrastructure will require performance metrics that can adequately capture the thermodynamic and compute behavior at multiple physical length scales. In this paper, an exergy-based figure-of-merit (FoM), defined as the ratio...

...V. P. Carey; A. J. Shah Processing information (analysis, storing, retrieving, sharing) is the primary function of modern computer-based information systems. Systems of this type generally require an input flow of exergy (available energy) to function. Information processing systems now...
