@ Linux Symposium – Green computing in clusters

Applying green computing to clusters,
by Steven Alan DuChene from SGI @ Ottawa Linux Symposium

The presentation is a high level review of metrics that are wanted and/or required to have controlled clusters computing and the road-map to the creation of an “environmental aware” job scheduler / resources manager.

It feel funny to hear the same talk that has been around for home automation about a data center installation. Especially since it does seem like a cheat to apply it to high performance since semi-random load are still a big part of the charge of a data center… and in HPC setup, the race to idle is normally the easiest and lower power consumption path.

Also weird that there is no mention of the advantage of cloud computing & fast provisioning that virtualization can bring to a green data center.
