Kerala firm 'incubates' software solution for energy-starved world

Nov 22, 2008 (Arab News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- THEG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- THIRUVANANTHAPURAM -- Seven engineers, all in their early 20s, have developed a new device they claim will save power losses from computers and gadgets running on electricity. The group incorporated a company called Artin Dynamics in April and approached the state-owned Technopark to use its "incubation facility" for the company to grow. They are now ready to launch their first product, SPARA, which will save power losses on computers to the extent of 40 MW for 1000 computers.

"The value is considerably low when compared to the actual power used by the device but this small loss is responsible for nearly 26 percent of the total energy loss in the world," says budding firm's 23-year-old chief executive officer Nelvin Joseph.

The software module of the product, which hit the market last week, uses algorithms and its hardware modules increase the efficiency of the system, the group claims.

"The concept is the phenomenon called phantom power, defined as the power which is consumed by an electronic device when it is on standby mode or not in use," Joseph said. "We expect to eliminate this loss by up to 97 percent by using SPARA".

The product is capable of conducting high-level power management features like monitor control, core handling, CPU throttling besides the normal power management options like hibernation, shutdown and standby on a network.

"This allows the central SPARA server to make sure that the network is run in the most efficient manner. The software gives the administrator solid proof in terms of power saved by generating detailed reports about the usage statistics. This report can also be used to find the mentality and dedication of the employees," he explains.

"The hardware unit works using our patented technology Enhanced Trigger Loop. This device interfaces with the computer using its USB port. Once a power save command has been passed to the computer and the computer switches to a power down (shutdown or hibernate) state, the module terminates the power supply from the system and the supply point. This eliminates phantom power losses fully".

Artin Dynamics plans to develop and distribute more products and services based on artificial intelligence and the company claims it is the first in India to work exclusively in this domain.

"The motto of the company is to generate clean source of energy for the world and we aim to be the first company in Kerala to qualify for the carbon footprint qualification from the International Energy Council".
