Renos: A Framework for a Performant and Sustainable Ultra-Reconfigurable Computing Continuum

Objective

"The current increase in popularity of smartphones, Internet of Things devices, as well as wearable devices, has brought with it an
increasing interest in ubiquitous services based on cloud computing. These devices connect to the Internet to reach the cloud data
centres, which host services that these devices could not execute by themselves. Furthermore, research is currently focused on
complimenting cloud computing with the ""Computing Continuum"" paradigm, where computations are distributed, not only through
cloud data centres, but also through other devices increasingly closer to users. The Computing Continuum offers promising
improvements in terms of performance compared to traditional cloud computing, enabling new paradigms such as Industry 4.0 or
eHealth. However, traditional cloud data centres, as well as the ubiquitous access to them through the Internet, consume up to 460
TWh of energy per year, and are responsible for 0.9% of the total energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, an approach to
the Computing Continuum based on simply placing more servers closer to users, continuously powered on, can further increase the
already large carbon footprint of the cloud paradigm. Therefore, to enable for a sustainable and performant future for computing, the
management of the Computing Continuum is key. To provide a key enabler for this situation, we propose Renos, a system able to
continuously adapt, optimize and orchestrate both the Computing Continuum's devices and the applications that run on them,
aimed at achieving more sustainable and performant computing services and infrastructures. Renos is envisioned as an artificial
intelligence-based system to be used by Computing Continuum providers, and integrated into industry-ready orchestrators. The
Renos project is not only an innovative and ambitious project that can make the European Computing Continuum more competitive,
it is also in line with the MSCA Green Charter, the European Green Deal, and the EU SDGs."

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.
