System x Power Configurator
The System x Power Configurator is a software tool designed to assist with
calculating System x Systems environmental information. The data in the System x
Power Configurator tool is derived from running real-world workloads across a
number of configurations to properly characterize component power consumption
under various conditions. The current workloads are a combination of Floating Point
and Small FFT Processor workloads as well as running configuration-tuned versions
of HPL (Portable Implementation of the High-Performance Linpack Benchmark) and
Stream to exercise multiple sub-systems of the IT systems. The two highest power
consuming sub-systems in a non-HPC (High Performance Computing) IT system are
processor and memory, so focus is given to exercising those sub-systems to correctly
model power consumption under traditional and virtual workloads. For HPC type IT
systems, some configurations contain GPGPU (General Purpose Graphical
Processing Unit) or MIC (Many Integrated Core) I/O adapters. These adapters are
characterized by running highly parallel graphic rendering workloads for complete
characterization. All tests are conducted using default uEFI/BIOS settings.
The System x Power Configurator provides three groups of environmental
information. The first represents Idle or minimum power consumption, the second is
Maximum power consumption, and the third is Load Factor. Load Factor is a scale
factor between Idle and Max that can represent any configurations total aggregate
system utilization for a specific workload.
The data reported by System x Power Configurator can be used in certain cases to
determine electrical wiring and levels of redundancy. The data reported by System x
Power Configurator represents a worst-case power consumption value under normal
operating conditions and may not model power consumption under component failure
conditions. Final determinations should be made by persons skilled in the art or by
contacting [email protected] x.com for assistance.
