From Code to Kilowatts: Unraveling Computing’s Energy Secrets

Computing is more complex than it seems. It’s about managing workloads, how compute units work together—or sometimes shouldn’t—and how tasks queue up, much like waiting lines at grocery stores. The longer the queue, the more complex it becomes to make the right choices and manage the scenarios efficiently. We often assume more capacity or compute power leads to better energy use, but software and hardware don’t always align. Understanding how these queues are handled is key to improving both energy efficiency and performance.
