Abstract
Warehouse sized buildings are nowadays hosting several types of large computing systems: from supercomputers to large clusters of servers to provide the infrastructure to the cloud. Although the main target, especially for high-performance computing, is still to achieve high throughput, the limiting factor of these warehouse-scale data centers is the power dissipation. Power is dissipated not only in the computation itself, but also in heat removal (fans, air conditioning, etc.) to keep the temperature of the devices within the operating ranges. The need to keep the temperature low within a minimal power envelope and to maintain high throughput and high reliability poses hard challenges.
In this work, we show that by moving part of the computation to accelerators, not only we reduce the latency of operations, but also make the system more energy efficient and reliable.
