Data centers handle impressive high figures in terms of energy consumption, and the growing popularity of cloud applications is intensifying their computational demand. Moreover, the cooling needed to keep the servers within reliable thermal operating conditions also has an impact on the thermal distribution of the data room, thus affecting to servers’ power leakage.
Until now, the reigning computing paradigm has been Cloud Computing, whose facilities concentrate in large and remote areas. Novel data-intensive services with critical latency and bandwidth constraints, such as autonomous driving and remote health, will suffer under an increasingly saturated network.
Internet of Things applications are based on ubiquitous networks of multiple distributed devices, with limited computing resources and power, capable of collecting and storing data from heterogeneous sources in real-time.
Based on the resonant ion confinement concept, for a Deuteron cloud in a Penning-Malmberg trap with a specially configured rotating wall, the possibility to build a new kind of fusion reactor is analysed. It is proved that, for some trap configurations, nuclear fusion reactions will take place in the center of the trap vessel. In that case, Lawson criterion for an ecient fusion reactor is satisfied. Moreover, the reactor will have a compact design and, since it does not require a large facility for its implementation, we call this device as a Fusion Cell.

The computation power in data center facilities is increasing significantly. This brings with it an increase of power consumption in data centers. Techniques such as power budgeting or resource management are used in data centers to increase energy efficiency.
In the present work are reported ground-reference results from a series of transient solidification experiments with the organic eutectic alloys SCN-23.6 DC (wt.%) and SCN-24.2DC-0.5NPG (wt.%), which have been performed in preparation of microgravity experiments using a new multi-user facility called Transparent Alloys or DIRSOL. In 1g lab conditions we investigated the response of rod-like eutectic patterns to imposed transients, involving defined acceleration and deceleration of the growth velocity.
