Will reduce power consumption as an important direction of high-performance computer innovation

As a representative of Chinese high-performance Computing, Shuguang Vice President, Director of Science and Technology research and development, Shaozong said that the reduction of power consumption will be the important direction of high-performance computer innovation. In addition, Shang also noted that there are new features for High-performance computer innovation, such as a better combination of applications.

At present, the dawn and other manufacturers in the active participation in the super calculation, in the performance of the continuous improvement of the situation, power consumption has become the focus of attention topic. Shaozong said that the evaluation of power consumption has two very important indicators, one indicator is called per watt of computing power, another indicator is called Pue, this is the data center indicator, high-performance computer is both a power in exchange for manufacturing capabilities, and it is also a data center.

Shaozong that power consumption is not only an aspect of dawning innovation, but also a serious impact on the operating costs of enterprises. In order to reduce power consumption, the dawn through several ways to innovate, such as the introduction of new technology products-heterogeneous high-performance computers, or with the processor-carrying high-performance computer,

Heterogeneous high-performance computer is the main product of the dawn, high-performance computers are basically divided into four major blocks, there is a computing system, communication systems, there are storage systems, software systems. Compared with previous years, the dawning of the high-performance computer has also emerged a new feature, is no longer blindly emphasize the performance of the chip upgrade, there has been a better combination of high-performance computers and applications, large data on high-performance computer applications.

Shaozong that high performance computers used to be storage systems for large data landing. The computing system of high-performance computers can be used for data analysis, high performance computer high-speed transmission network systems, can be used for data analysis to the storage of data communication. The high-performance computer is a very suitable structure in such fields as large data.
