Carbon Protocol &
GeoChronos Relocation Reporting
18
The ICT GHG Reduction Project
Protocol
Purpose of Protocol: Establish a credible procedure for
quantifying energy and emission reductions from
Green ICT “projects”, with outcomes verifiable by
third party
Development Process
Developed using core group of experts from industry,
government, academia
Solicited input from an external committee of technical
experts
Tested according to a “real world” case study
“Operationalized” through development of online
documentation tool
19
19
Protocol Applicability
 The protocol is applicable to the following project
activities:
• Type 1: Project activities involving improvements to ICT facilities
Two use cases – increasing energy efficiency and use of low/zero
carbon source energy
• Type 2: Project activities involving improvements to ICT services
Six use cases related to different aspects of using BAT, virtualization,
consolidation, or cloud computing
20
20
Quantifying energy and emission
reductions
 Energy and emission reductions are simply the difference
between the project (P) and the baseline
 May seem simple, but some key challenges….!
• Ensuring “functional equivalence” between the project and the
baseline
• Establishing what the baseline scenario is
• For the possibility of obtaining carbon credits, demonstrating the
additionality of the project
21

22
GHG Project Guide Summary, Cont’d

Your carbon reduction activities consist of changing the implementation of your ICT service or
facility.

Carbon emitted by ICT services and facilities is primarily due to consumed power. Multiplying
the consumed power by the carbon intensity of the power source gives the carbon emissions.

You will formalize your carbon reduction activities into a GHG reduction project. Your project
covers a period of operation of your new ICT implementation – typically measured in years. The
project does not include the carbon emitted during the construction of your improved ICT
implementation; it covers only the carbon saved during its operation.

You will create one, and possibly two, documents: The GHG Report will be prepared at the end
of your project; it presents calculation of the carbon reduction. When required, the Project
Validation Report will be ready at the beginning of your project; it describes how the
measurements and estimations will be carried out.

The carbon reduction achieved by your project may be sold in a carbon market (if verified), or
used in corporate sustainability reporting. In either case the calculated reduction is considered
bona fide.

In the case you are intending to sell you carbon reductions, your GHG report will be audited by
an independent external verifier. Verification may also be desirable for corporate sustainability
reporting.

If you are selling the reductions, then your new ICT implementation must be additional, meaning
that you go beyond typical business as usual solutions for carbon reduction.
23
GHG Project Guide Summary, Cont’d

Your calculated carbon reduction does not reflect any carbon-producing deficiencies of your
old (i.e. pre-project) ICT implementation. Instead, it compares carbon emissions of your new
implementation to a hypothetical baseline implementation. The baseline describes what
your old implementation would have been like if the equipment and were upgraded to
standard industry solutions at the time of project start.

The product produced by ICT is characterized as workload. Measurement units of workload
will depend on the details of your project.

Your project activities will include measurement of critical quantities, including the power
consumed and perhaps the workload experienced by your new implementation.

Based on these measurements, perhaps as well as manufacturers’ information, industry
publications, and additional measurements, you will estimate the carbon emissions of your
new implementation during the project’s duration, and you will estimate the carbon
emissions that the hypothetical baseline would have produced during this same time period
under the same workload. The difference between these two is your project’s carbon
reduction.

Your measurements and estimations will be conservative, meaning that you err on the low
side for the baseline and on the high side for the project. This results in a conservative
estimate of your carbon reduction, erring on the low side.
24
The GeoChronos Relocation Project
Case Study
 At the University of Calgary
datacenter, GeoChronos used (as of
December 2010) the following
hardware systems:
• A set of compute nodes that run VM’s
performing different tasks
• A file server to serve VM images
• A file server to serve data via NFS.
 Project involved moving applications
virtually to servers at a new efficient
datacenter with near zero carbon
source energy
 Results of implementation: 2.412
tonnes (2,412.63 kg) of CO2e over the
13 week project.
25
25
The ICT GHG Reduction Project
Calculator and Documentation Tool
 Tool purpose:
• 1) Generating a report on potentially verifiable emission
reductions that can be registered, verified, serialized and
brought to market
• 2) Generating a report suitable for use in Corporate
Sustainability Reporting
 Tool includes the following;
• Online project documentation and calculation tool based on
the requirements of the Protocol
• A process for project reports to be submitted to CSA
CleanProjects registry
• Provision of necessary key guidance documents
 Online at http://icttool.ghgregistries.ca/index.cfm
26
26
Potential commercial impact of
protocol/tool
 Provides foundational guidance on estimating and
reporting the emission impacts of low or zero
carbon ICT services
 Provides important knowledge base for future
research and development:
• Development of standards and/or certification system
specific to quantifying energy savings (useable for
incentives programs, for example)
• Preparation of additional guidance on application of the
protocol in specific ICT subsectors and case studies
• Carbon neutral program developed specific to
datacenters
• Certification of a carbon neutral ICT service
• Bringing the Protocol to ISO
27

Final
GSN Infrastructure deployment
28
GSN infrastructure update
Core GSN Nodes
• Firmware update was applied to the Raritan PDUs at the Calgary and RF
GSN Nodes to deal with accessibility issues
• GeoChronos relocation activity was successfully completed and the
application is now running again at the GRC as of the 20th of October
Extended GSN Nodes
• Reconfiguration of the network architecture in Ireland to implement the
European GSN Hub and support the GSN Federated Cloud Use Case
• GbE connection established between the Arista switch at ETS and the
CANARIE Montreal Juniper MX480 router to enable access to a logical
router by Mantychore in support of the GSN Federated Cloud Use Case
CRC VMware Cluster
• The CRC VMware cluster in the BADLAB is now hosting IaaS Containers as
a means to reduce the loading on the ets3 server. A VM image for the
CRC Middleware Container was successfully converted and has been
assigned IP address <10.20.99.157>
29
GSN Infrastructure WG Update
Challenges
 Asymmetrical throughput on LP between RF and the GRC
• Problem isolated to leg between Kelowna and Vancouver (TCP retransmits
causing periodic sawtooth pattern throughput)
• Tests carried out by Shaw cleared their fibre plant
• RF to replace transceivers in Kelowna and Vancouver however this can’t be
completed until after the 31st of December due to one particular customer
requesting no interruption of service before that date
 Outdoor Enclosure Operational Issues
• The Switch, Server and PDU were relocated from the CRC Enclosure to the
BADLAB . The CRC GSN Node is fully operational again using green power from
the CRC SPS when available.
 Connectivity to International GSN Nodes
• The three VLANs from HEAnet that were mapped to three STS circuits across
CANARIE have been reconfigured into one VLAN mapping to one STS circuit
across CANARIE using VLAN ID 158
• LP-5 to HEAnet and LP-8 to NORDUnet connecting nodes from HEAnet and
NORDUnet to the GSN Hub in Montreal will be re-arranged to terminate on
the CANARIE Montréal Juniper MX480 Router

Future Deployment
(logical deployment)
41
Towards GSN 2.0
 GSN 2.0 will be the 2nd major release of the GSN middleware
which is implemented using IaaS 2.0
– Minimizes the amount of information needed to keep in memory and thus will
allow the middleware container to run longer with less resource constraints
– Solve connectivity/reconnect issues to devices
• If the connection to the device times out or fails, the middleware won’t
hang
• Maintains better state of resources and can disseminate this information if
needed by other components
• Better messaging for communication between components (Rabbit MQ)
• Potential for redundancy and higher failure tolerance
– IaaS 2.0 uses the Akka Framework and Erlang
 Migration ~95% complete and along with testing and
verification will be the main focus of the GSN Extension
42
OpenFlow Deployment
43
OpenFlow Value Add
 Enables dynamic control of network resource allocation
 With OpenFlow, the cloud control software can set the
network policies on the switch(es) to match the policies/SLA
for the VMs without human intervention
• This allows us to build a combined server/storage/network scheduler
that can optimize the VM placement based on configured policies
 Tenant isolation using flow spaces
 Optimization of network flows between applications
 Ability to develop/enhance network protocols for Green IT
44
GSN Topology in the Nox Controller
45
OpenStack
 Moving towards inter cloud federation
 Use Delta cloud API to federation the GSN cloud with many
commercial and open clouds
 Deployed at ETS @ http://207.162.8.40:8000
 This work will be continued in the project extension period

Demo 2 – High Availability (HA)
 Hosts continually report back to their
Libvirt resource by renewing a lease
 This tells the Libvirt resource that the
Host is healthy and reachable
 If the lease expires, the Libvirt resource
will trigger an HA Event to the Cloud
Manager
 The Cloud Manager will then start the
VMs from the troubled host on another
stable host
 The restart is equivalent to a cold reboot
of your computer

The GSN Simulator
• Objective: to overcome the size and stability limitations of physical GSN
network; study the relationships between many GSN dynamics and the
implications on node sizing, node placement, etc.
• Virtual solar facilities are modeled closely after physical nodes; virtual
facilities get loaded from file system when simulation starts
• It is easy to tweak the virtual GSN network’s topology, size, time zone
offset between nodes, nodes’ battery capacity, op-hour values, and even
swap controller algorithms, and compare results from different simulation
setups, for example:
America/Edmonton
CyberaA, Cfull, [2, 4]
CyberaB, Cfull, [2,4]
America/NewYork
America/Vancouver
CRC, 200, [2,4]
VancouverA, Cfull, [2, 4]
vs.
ETS
VancouverB, Cfull, [2,4]
America/Halifax
Halifax, 200, [2,4]
ETS
( Cfull is battery full capacity, and [2,4] represents op-hours )
60
GSN Simulator Webapp
•
•
•
•
To provide researchers with a Google map view of simulation setups, and allow
them to tweak virtual facilities and overall setup via GUI
Simulations are run on the web server; when finished the researcher will get an
email, with simulation results in the main body and the detailed virtual GSN
system log as an attachment
Being built towards a social site, where researchers can share simulation
templates, view other people’s activities and results, and study follow the
sun/wind concept as a community
