DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Economic realities place limits on the funding available to construct new HPC space. Changes in cooling technologies brought about by the ever increasing densities have pushed the industry to search for more flexible designs. In this paper, we present the various methods for reducing HPC initial construction cost, while providing flexibility, adaptably, and energy efficiency with a focus on total cost of ownership. We will present current and future trends in HPC requirements for space environment and infrastructure needs. Using this base criteria we will evaluate several best in class approaches to constructing new HPC space, including 1) Site selection 2) air and water based cooling technologies 3) right sizing and phased construction 4), modular and containerized spaces 5) Expandable and flexible infrastructure. Among other interesting results, we demonstrate the cost savings available in these scenarios, while allowing for flexibility and expandability.
SUMMARY:Reducing First Costs and Improving Future Flexibility in the Construction of High Performance Computing Facilities
