Green HPC ?

Posted on February 20, 2010 by mdl in Technology
Green IT Award

The importance of power consumption and green IT are increasing also for HPC. From Bernard Aebischer of the Centre for Energy Policy & Economics at ETH Zurich (CEPE) I received a message with interesting links related to this topic. I just forward his mail in this post (see here below, in German).

Bernard in addition pointed to the Green IT Innovation Award“. There is still time to participate with a project. It seems that only a few projects have been posted, so there are good chances to win a price…

Sehr geehrte Damen, sehr geehrte Herren, liebe KollegInnen,

Alle relevanten Informationen zu US Energy Star für Data Centres und für Servers finden sich auf der Website http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=prod_development.server_efficiency .

Betreffend Data Centres möchte ich hervorheben:

  1. die Ankündigung „Data Center Industry Leaders Reach Agreement on Guiding Principles for Energy Efficiency Metrics” vom 1. Februar 2010: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/downloads/DataCenters_AgreementGuidingPrinciples.pdf
  2. die Präsentation “ENERGY STAR for Data Centers” at The Green Grid Technical Forum, February 2, 2010: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/downloads/DataCenters_GreenGrid02042010.pdf .

Zu den Servern empfehle ich.

  1. das Paper von Fanara/Haines/Howard „The State of Energy and Performance Benchmarking for Enterprise Servers” http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/downloads/State_of_Energy_and_Performance_Benchmarking_for_Enterprise_Servers_Final.pdf
  2. die Präsentation “ENERGY STAR Servers. Version 2.0: Updates” at The Green Grid Technical Forum 2010 San Jose, CA February 2, 2010 http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/revisions/downloads/computer_servers/ES_Servers_V_2.0_Development_Update.pdf
  3. Detailinformationen zur Vorbereitung der Version 2 für Server finden sich auf: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=revisions.computer_servers

Auch für Data Centre Storage wurde für das Green Grid Technical Forum 2010 eine Übersichtspräsentation zusammengestellt: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/new_specs/downloads/storage/ES_Data_Center_Storage_V_1.0_Development_Update.pdf . Für Experten ist die Anleitung zur Datensammlung, auf der die Spezifikationen basieren werden, interessant: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/new_specs/downloads/storage/StorageInitialDataCollectionProcedure.pdf

Ganz neu ist die Initiative für UPS: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=new_specs.uninterruptable_power_supplies . Die beiden unter dem Titel „February 16, 2010 — Uninterruptible Power Supplies Specification Framework Document“ hinterlegten Dokumente „Cover Memo“ und „UPS Framework Document“ enthalten alle relevanten Informationen.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Bernard Aebischer
