The Computer Sciences (CS) department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims at carrying out research and development to influence the way computing machines are built, programmed, and used. One of the groups of the department is the System software for energy management in HPC.



The main goal of this group is to provide system software for energy management in HPC data centers. The main project of or team is EAR, an energy management framework. EAR is an energy management framework optimizing the energy and efficiency of a cluster of interconnected nodes. To improve the energy of the cluster, EAR provides energy control, accounting, monitoring and optimization of both the applications running on the cluster and of the overall global cluster including global energy capping which will ensure that the maximum energy values defined for the cluster are not reached.



The goal of this softwar...
