Sustainably supporting science through committed community action
Sustainably supporting science through committed community action
The working group is currently updating our original commissioning document to address the large-scale, highly dynamic power loads of HPC facilities. A working draft of this newly revised guidance will be available on this page very soon.

Systematic Approach For Universal Commissioning Plan For Liquid-Cooled Systems
The Liquid Cooling Commissioning Team has collected and reviewed best practices and lessons learned for commissioning of liquid cooling infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to improve the commissioning process for delivering a liquid cooling infrastructure that works when the HPC system is installed.
The Team has written a document that is intended to provide some general guidance and recommendations for those who are writing commissioning plans. The Team has ‘lessons learned’ from several supercomputer centers that help to illustrate the general guidance and recommendations.
