Project description

Reducing energy consumption in data operations

Big data analytics collects, examines and analyses large amounts of data. To extract insights from this data, it must flow seamlessly between edges and clouds across a broad range of work locations and environments. This process consumes a lot of energy. As a result, national grids generate considerable carbon emissions. The EU-funded GLACIATION project aims to develop a novel distributed knowledge graph that stretches across the edge-core-cloud architecture. Knowledge graphs are a flexible means to represent interlinked information about almost anything. GLACIATION will optimise the location where analytics are performed to significantly reduce power consumption. Its metadata framework will deliver tools that ensure privacy and trust in data operations.

Objective

From edge to cloud, big data analytics is growing fast, and its energy consumption has become a reason of concern for national grids and they generate significant carbon emissions. The GLACIATION project aims to address this issue through energy-efficient privacy preserving data operations. By developing a novel Distributed Knowledge Graph (DKG) that stretches across the edge-core-cloud architecture, reduction in the energy consumption for data processing will be achieved through AI enforced minimal data movement operations. GLACIATION will achieve significant power consumption reduction through optimizing the location where analytics are carried out and where data is placed. The projects Metadata framework will provide tools that incorporate privacy and trust aspects in the data operations. GLACIATION is demonstrated on three relevant industry settings which benefit from optimized data movement and power consumption reduction. More specifically, GLACIATION use cases cover public-service, manufacturing, energy and enterprise data analytics.  

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
