Free Lunch: Exploiting Renewable Energy for Computing

This paper argues for “Free Lunch”, a computation architecture that exploits otherwise wasted renewable energy by (i) colocating datacentres with these remote energy sources, (ii) connecting them over a dedicated network, and (iii) providing a software framework that supports the seamless execution and migration of virtual machines in the platform according to power availability. This work moti...

Information Dispersion and Auction Prices

This paper derives comparative static implications of Nash equilibrium bidding in a mineral rights model of auctions. It then tests these implications to assess whether a model of Nash equilibrium behavior in a CV information structure characterizes eBay online computer auctions. Market data is augmented by survey data in order to determine the information structure and bidding behavior in thes...

Near-equilibrium measurements of nonequilibrium free energy.

A central endeavor of thermodynamics is the measurement of free energy changes. Regrettably, although we can measure the free energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium, typically all we can say about the free energy of a nonequilibrium ensemble is that it is larger than that of the same system at equilibrium. Herein, we derive a formally exact expression for the probability distribution o...
