Abstract: In this talk we will show how much power and energy is consumed by HPC clusters and how the runtime and performance of applications influence these numbers. We will also give some general insights about the tuning knobs that are at a user’s disposal for reducing the energy cost of computing, and how computing centers can impose restrictions on hardware and software usage to enforce energy-saving measures.
