Processing….
The Department of Energy has named new organizations that have committed to advancing the energy efficiency of the U.S. semiconductor industry to increase economic competitiveness and strengthen domestic supply chains.
DOE said Tuesday Google, Vital Integration of Environmental Electronics, Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and the Florida Semiconductor Institute signed a pledge under the Energy Efficiency Scaling for 2 Decades, or EES2, initiative to reduce energy consumption from semiconductor applications.
With 65 signatories, the EES2 pledge aims to reduce semiconductor energy consumption at the material and device scale, guide new technology investments funded through the CHIPS and Science Act and diversify the future workforce.
“We’re committed to developing and deploying artificial intelligence to help address the challenge posed by climate change,” said Kate Brandt, chief sustainability officer at Google.
“As we look to the future, it’s essential that the technology industry build on our longstanding focus on improving energy efficiency at all levels of the value chain, including at the materials and hardware level,” Brandt said.
Intel, Microsoft, Micron, Synopsys, ARM and AMD are among the inaugural partners of the EES2 initiative.
