This CRADA (1) facilitates relocation of the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, for and on behalf of the Colorado School of Mines, (MINES or Participant) International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) supercomputing system into the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL or Contractor) Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF). This CRADA (1) facilitates testing High Performance Computing (HPC) application platform portability, scalability, electrical energy use, and performance for applications critical to each organization; (2) facilitates use of the existing facility electrical and thermal data collection systems at Contractor ESIF in support of characterizing HPC workload power use characterization; and (3) facilitates addition of application power use data on the Participant IBM supercomputing system into the Contractor ESIF Time Series data system to use/re-use existing methodology to profile application power use.
