Power Source to Workload Dynamics (PSWD) focuses on establishing an open data model which unifies how components in and around data centres interact, ultimately creating a more efficient and adaptable energy ecosystem.
The current infrastructure landscape lacks a cohesive and standardized method for workloads to signal and interact with various domains. Existing systems function as isolated "islands," resulting in fragmented communication regarding energy usage, grid interactions, and efficiency opportunities. This prevents organizations from fully understanding the environmental and operational impacts of their workloads, hindering efforts to optimize energy consumption and drive sustainability outcomes.
Like the mycelium network in a forest, which connects plants and allows them to share resources we wish to identify the standardized signals to enable coordination across energy, telecoms, cooling, data centers, and software applications for more carbon-efficient scheduling and load balancing. This could be the next evolution of grid-aware computing.

The best place to start is often joining a project meetings and saying hello to the project’s leads and other contributors. You can also engage more asynchronously by inputting into discussions on email or in Github.
Subscribe to the project to get automatically invited to the meetings.
We works almost entirely via GitHub, so everything you need to know about a project exist in it’s repository. The repository is only accessible to members of the GSF.
