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

0709025CRI：Miser：一个高性能、节能的集群Kirk Cameron许多关键计算科学应用程序的永无止境的性能需求，除非降低新兴机器的功率和能量需求，否则无法满足。高性能节能计算(HPPAC)已经成为解决这一问题的一种很有前途的方法。在HPPAC中，功耗由软件控制，以提高能效，同时满足应用程序的性能需求。缺乏大规模的节能集群基础设施限制了节能计算机科学研究的类型。这一基础设施努力正在构建MISER(节能管理基础设施)集群，这是一个节能集群，用于启用和评估大规模科学应用的节能技术。这个拟议的基础设施将包括至少机架安装的服务器，总共至少有256个处理器核心。每个节点至少有几个节能处理器和节能磁盘。操作系统将采用开源Linux进行系统软件开发。系统将通过高端互连进行连接。该项目还将现有的电力测量和控制基础设施(PowerPack)扩展到新的集群。12个研究项目将由拟议的节电吝啬者集群支持，这些项目跨越四个系的12名教职员工。参与者有通过多元文化学术机会计划(MAOP)指导妇女和少数族裔的历史，暑期学生实习生在教师导师的指导下参与该项目。此外，这些技术将提高大型系统的能效，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.
