One thing an ecosystem needs to survive is a constant supply of energy. The sun provides an uninterrupted supply of energy to the Earth. It can also be stored: liquefied dinosaurs are effectively stored energy that originated with the sun. Energy from the sun can be concentrated in many other forms, and accessible to parts of the planet when they're directly exposed to it. In commercial ecosystems, capital is energy. MORE

I’ve chosen another energy-related paper to end the week, addressing a problem many people can relate to: apps that drain your battery. How you tell whether or not an app is being a wise steward of a resource is an interesting question we’ll get into… A severe type of defect developers frequently introduce in their apps is energy bugs that drain battery abnormally fast.

It is worth noting that Summit is also the world’s 3 rd most energy-efficient machine, according to the Green500 list. The Green500 list ranks the most energy-efficient supercomputers. It is significant because reducing energy consumption is one of the major challenges being faced in working towards exascale computing. You may have heard of the Top500 list. It ranks the world’s 500 most powerful supercomputers based on their performance as measured by the Linpack benchmark. MORE
