Speakers

Anna Maria Bailey is Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) HPC Chief Engineer. She holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and is registered with the California Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. She has 30+ years of experience in multiple engineering roles at LLNL, notably serving as the design/construction manager for LLNL’s HPC Center, which houses some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. In addition, she led the effort to earn LEED certification for two HPC facilities and is currently overseeing the planning of an Exascale facility modernization project to prepare for unprecedented Exascale facility infrastructure challenges. She also serves as the co-chair of the Energy Efficient HPC Working Group (EE HPC WG).

Brandon Hong is the Lead Engineer of Strategic Initiatives and Planning for High Performance Computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of California, Santa Barbara and is a registered Electrical Professional Engineer in California. Brandon manages the execution of the Livermore Computing HPC Facility Master Plan to enable the data centers to operate some of the world’s top supercomputers. He recently designed the electrical distribution for the exascale computer, El Capitan coming to LLNL in 2023. Brandon is currently the chair of the Electrical Commissioning team in the EE HPC WG.

Daniel Wilson received BS degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering from NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. He is working toward a PhD degree in Computer Engineering at Boston University. Prior to his current studies, Daniel worked at NetApp and Itron. He works as an intern at Intel while pursuing his PhD. His current research interests include energy-aware computing and systemwide optimization.

Lluis Alonso studied computer science in Universitat de Barcelona and graduated in 2018. He started working at BSC in that same year where he joined the EAR team in the computer science department. He started working in energy optimisation in HPC clusters which brought him to working on power capping solutions. Besides that, he is part of the REGALE project which also focuses on power and energy management in HPC.

ABSTRACT: Power and energy are recognized as first-order constraints in high-performance computing. Optimizing for various factors such as cost, efficiency and performance under power and energy constraints requires coordination across the infrastructure (e.g., mechanical and electrical systems), the HPC system (hardware and software), and end-user applications. There are early adopters and innovators in operational practices and technologies that are geared towards improving energy and power management capabilities. This workshop will explore these operational and technological innovations that span HPC computational systems as well as building infrastructure. The purpose of this workshop is to allow for the publication of practices, policies, procedures, and technologies in formal peer-reviewed papers so the broader community can benefit from these experiences. It will expose use cases, lessons learned, and best practices in design, commissioning, and operations. The nature of these papers is generally descriptive with hard experiential data gathered through surveys, case studies, and research for practice.
