About this job

The question Generating one image with a diffusion model means evaluating a large neural network tens to hundreds of times. That repetition is where the energy goes, and it is part of why data-centre demand is now visible at grid scale: the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory puts US data-centre electricity use at 176 TWh in 2023, 4.4 % of national consumption, a figure that more than doubled since 2017 largely because of AI servers, and projects 325–580 TWh by 2028. Emerging hardware attacks exactly this primitive: analog in-memory computing, silicon photonics, ferroelectric devices and stochastic computing perform the underlying matrix–vector products at lower energy than digital CMOS, under conditions on scale and precision, but return a perturbed result.…
