What does “Green” mean in HPC? § Green in HPC means more computing in a fixed power envelope. § Green in HPC means higher density § Customers want more computer in less space § Green is in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) § Customers want fewer dollars diverted away from computing infrastructure. § Green should be manageable § No issues of condensation or leakage § Easy Serviceability § Green should be upgradeable § Less landfill or recycling of components § Green needs to be innovative Cray High Efficiency Cabinet with ECOphlex Technology (PHase change Liquid EXchange(PHLEX)) September 20 HPCUser 2008 Slide 5

Cray: Petascale and Beyond
High Productivity Computing Systems Critical to National Security • Develop a new generation of economically viable high productivity computing systems for national security and industrial user communities (2011) • Ensure U. S. lead, dominance, and control in this critical technology Phase III Vendors: Mission Partners: Impact: • • Performance (time-to-solution): speedup by 10 X to 40 X Programmability (idea-to-first-solution): dramatically reduce cost and development time Portability (transparency): insulate software from system Robustness (reliability): continue operating in the presence of localized hardware failure, contain the impact of software defects, and minimize likelihood of operator error Applications: Weather Prediction Ocean/wave Forecasting Ship Design Climate Modeling Nuclear Stockpile Stewardship Weapons Integration Fill the Critical Do. D Need for: Operational weather and ocean forecasting, weapons design and analysis, airborne contaminant modeling, cryptanalysis Cray Proprietary Information Providedintelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance, Under NDA September 20 Slide 10
