Abstract

With the increasing number of nodes in high performance clusters as well as the high frequency of the processors in these systems, energy consumption has become a key factor which limits their large-scale deployment. In response, this paper presents a software module that, taking into consideration past and future users' requests, implements energy saving policies, powering on and shutting down the system nodes. This tool employs Roll for clusters with Rocks® as operating system and Sun® Grid Engine as queue system.
