Deep Green

Are you at Hewlett Packard Enterprise discover next week? The Deep Green team are in Barcelona to soak up what's happening in Private Cloud for AI and other breaking news. If you're going, let's meet and discuss how Deep Green could help with your 2025 strategy and beyond.

Our CEO, Mark, was at Oxford University at DigiFest, to deliver a talk on 'Sustainable Computng - How the UK must harness the heat from data centres'. Matt Bagwell and Mark Bjornsgaard also had an opportunity to chat to dozens of digital innovators who were showcasing their work. The future's bright! Thanks for the invitation Professor Anne Trefethen FREng FBCS FRSA Mark's talk will be available to watch soon - stay posted...

That was fun! Our discussion for the fourth Beyond Good event was all about how to rebuild heat economics from the ground up - a learning experience for us all.. Thank you Charlotte Large from Bring Energy for the fantastic presentation! The full recording is coming soon...

"500 people! Good job I'm ready!" Our CEO, @Mark Bjornsgaard, is current rehearsing for #OxDigiFest this Thursday, where he's talking about Sustainable Computing and how the UK must harness the heat from data centres. You'll be able to watch his talk in full online - keep an eye out for our post on Thursday to tune in.

As we develop Industrial Ecologies across the UK, we are delighted to be featured in techUK's SME Report, exploring the economic and cultural value of SMEs in driving economic growth, and the opportunities and challenges we face ahead. #SMEConnect https://lnkd.in/eczWmC4U 

We have a handful of tickets left for our next Beyond Good event, exploring 'How to Rebuild Heat Economics from the Ground Up'. Join the Deep Green team and Charlotte Large in Soho next Tuesday 12th November to learn more about District Heat Networks, and their essential role in new energy ecologies.

Something for the weekend? One of the benefits of multiple train and test-the-range-of-an-EV journeys to visit our date centre builds in the UK is the time to plug into the Zeitgeist with one of our favourite podcast series, Dwarkesh. This episode features Dylan Patel runs SemiAnalysis, the leading publication and research firm on AI hardware and Jon runs, the world’s best YouTube channel on semiconductors and business history. It's very practically entitled "How the Semiconductor Industry actually works" focusing on the bonanza in infrastructure and hardware scaling to meet the demand for capacity and the promise of AGI. The conversation mirrors many we have in the business; power availability obviously, “North of a Gigawatt” clusters, scaling for training, and mastering how to training across multiple data centres. How do we sustain clusters with higher and higher GPU populations (300,000 - 500,000 GPUs +) in centralised instances (answer - you don't). Assuming distributed networked clusters, what is the impact of efficiency loss across sites and can we tolerate it? And how can we utilise generational chips with new chips for training (because otherwise there won't be enough globally-available flops for future model magnitudes). A particular highlight for us was this exchange... "The big tech companies can't do crazy sh*t like Elon did." "Why?" "ESG. They can't just do crazy sh*t like that…" And... "You have synthetic data. You have the search stuff. You have all these post-training techniques. You have all these ways to soak up flops, or you just figure out how to train across multiple data centers..." At the frontier, dLLMs, planetary and social license to operate them is more than a talking point. Strap in, and play out the future at 1.3x. https://lnkd.in/eWDfdXMv

Thank you to DARK MATTER for inviting Mark Bjornsgaard to present our argument for heat recapture in a world of exponential data centre growth, "How to use robots to save the world." A summary of that can be found here. https://lnkd.in/eWgztiuv

We are delighted to be a contributor the techUK's newly-published Growth Plan The plans sets out how to back the UK tech sector, ensure growth for the benefit of every UK nation and region. To quote the Report itself, these are the actions we need to take to shoot for the stars. Grab a cuppa and read the full report is here https://lnkd.in/dsRbvqdB

The babel fish are born... Thank you to Mark Boost and the Civo team for inviting Mark Bjornsgaard to Navigate London, to describe the critical mission to distributed computing for social good. Here's a fleeting summary. We've talked about the notion of Edge for years but it didn’t have the real life customer and business outcomes to be make it a reality. We now have governments, customers and stakeholders all driving the distribution of computing. • Governments knows that recaptured heat can be more cost effective than gas. • Customers value the innate social license to operate of heat recapture • Shareholders realise that positive publicity gets them (literal) power faster. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆? • A proliferation of new entrants into the market, like Deep Green. The more, the merrier. • That we have to address and overcome the complexities of heat reuse, work we are spearheading with partners. • Working with and within the changing financial models and new economics of the transition. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱? • Affording the innovation investment in new types of coding. • The opportunity to harness the benefits of greener code. Come and listen to Stuart Harris from Red Badger describe both in a forthcoming Beyond Good talk - you can register at our website for invites. • Radical transparency in the architectures for "compostable" distributed compute. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀? • For 15 years, we have had a chicken and egg situation where there wasn't any need for distributed computing because there weren't a host of viable use cases and applications to run on them • From babel fish translators to peer-to-peer gaming, the use cases are arriving thick and fast. • “Build it and they’ll will come”(the old myth of Edge) becomes “build it as they come”(as proven by the customer demand we are receiving). Less Field of Dreams and more Wallace and Gromit.
