Um estudo sobre consumo energético em supercomputadores

Abstract

The recent technological revolution and the exorbitant increase in data required investments and improvements in the IT area. There are several activities that require increased processing and the indispensability of high availability. One of these activities is research, carried out by academic centers, for example, which lack high-performance equipment for highly complex tasks. Their energy consumption becomes huge and expensive, requiring studies of different strategies in the area. This document presents an initial study for improving server energy management in order to save energy consumption and financial expenses. A supercomputer is appointed as the object of study, from which data on computational and energy consumption was collected, generating specific and comparative analyzes between them. Finally, a strategy is suggested to reduce the energy consumption of this equipment as a proposal for an opportunity to save energy and consequently financially.
