This is a collaborative effort between the Green500, the Top500, The Green Grid and the Energy Efficient HPC Working Group. It is intended for those involved in the supercomputer system architecture design and procurement decision-making process including users, data center and facilities designers/managers. =0A=0AThis community effort seeks to characterize the energy efficiency of supercomputer architectures rather than the operational efficiency of supercomputers or data-centers. A pragmatic decision was taken to select readily available, broadly adopted and well defined workloads that exercise the HPC system or subsystem to the fullest capability possible. An immediate focus of this community is to improve the methodology for measuring the energy and/or power consumed while running workloads, such as HPL. =0A=0APlease attend this BoF, learn more and provide your feedback.
