DescriptionThe two major driving forces that are leading centers
to investigate dynamic power and energy management
strategies are (1) limitations to the availability of
resources from the electricity service provider, and (2)
the desire to spend limited budgets on computational
cycles rather than infrastructure requirements such as
electricity. In addition, supercomputer systems have
increasingly rapid, unpredictable, and large power
fluctuations. In addition, electricity service providers
may request supercomputing centers to change their
timing and/or magnitude of demand to help address
electricity supply constraints. To adapt to this new
landscape, centers may employ energy and power-aware job
scheduling and resource management (EPA-JSRM) strategies
to dynamically, and in real-time, control their
electricity demand. This poster summarizes the lessons
learned from one of the first global surveys of
supercomputing centers that are actively investigating
such strategies.
