CRI: MISER: A High-performance, Power-aware Cluster

0709025CRI:MISER：一种高性能，功率感知的ClusterKirk相机除非降低紧急机器的功率和能量要求，否则许多关键计算科学应用的永不满足的性能需求无法得到满足。高性能、功率感知计算（HPPAC）已经成为解决这个问题的一种很有前途的方法。在HPPAC中，功耗由软件控制，以提高能源效率，同时满足应用程序的性能需求。大规模的功耗感知集群基础设施的缺乏限制了功耗感知计算机科学研究的类型。这项基础设施工作是建立MISER（节能管理基础设施）集群，这是一个能源感知集群，用于大规模科学应用的节能技术的启用和评估。这个提议的基础设施将包括至少64个机架式服务器，总共至少256个处理器核心。每个节点至少有几个功耗感知处理器和功耗感知磁盘。操作系统将是开源的Linux，用于系统软件的开发。系统将通过高端互连连接。该项目还将把现有的电力测量和控制基础设施（PowerPack）扩展到新的集群。12个研究项目，涉及4个系的12名教员，将由拟议的功率感知MISER集群提供支持。参与者有通过多元文化学术机会项目（MAOP）指导女性和少数民族的历史，在该项目中，暑期实习生与教师导师一起参与项目。此外，这些技术将提高大型系统的能源效率，减少浪费并对环境产生积极影响。

0709025CRI:MISER: A High-performance, Power-aware ClusterKirk CameronThe insatiable performance demands of many critical computational science applications cannot be satisfied unless the power and energy requirements of emergent machines are reduced. High-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC) has emerged as a promising approach to this problem. In HPPAC, power consumption is controlled by software to improve energy efficiency while meeting the performance needs of the application. The lack of power-aware cluster infrastructure of significant scale limits the type of power-aware computer science research conducted.This infrastructure effort is building the MISER (Management Infra-Structure for Energy Reduction) cluster, a power-aware cluster to enable and evaluate energy reduction techniques for scientific applications at scale. This proposed infrastructure will consist of at least 64 rack mounted servers, for a total of at least 256 processor cores. At a minimum each node will have several power-aware processors and power-aware disks. The operating system will be open-source Linux for system software development. Systems will be connected with a high-end interconnect. The project will also extend the existing power measurement and control infrastructure (PowerPack) to the new cluster.Twelve research projects, which span twelve faculty members across four departments, will be supported by the proposed power-aware MISER cluster. The participants have a history of mentoring women and minorities through the Multicultural Academic Opportunities Program (MAOP) where summer student interns participate in the project with a faculty mentor. Furthermore, the techniques will improve the energy efficiency of large scale systems, reduce waste and positively impact the environment.
