MANGO
The UPV leads a European project to streamline energy consumption of large data centres
[ 04/07/2016 ]
Minimising energy consumption of large data centres without impacting its performance or the performance of running applications. This is the main objective of MANGO, a project funded by the European Union within the Horizon 2020 programme and led by the Universitat Politècnica de València.
To achieve such objective, MANGO plans the development of a new massive computer system prototype that will allow to improve the performance of the core of the equipment and the interconnection of their components, managing more efficiently the resources and optimising energy control and the programming and cooling models.
A true revolution in terms of generation and consumption of multimedia content on the Internet
Among other fields, the system proposed by MANGO shall be applied to improve safety and surveillance in critical infrastructures such as airports or, in the medical field, to facilitate and improve the examination of patients in real time. Furthermore, MANGO will also be a true revolution in terms of generation and consumption of multimedia content on the Internet, as it will improve video encoding.
As explained by the Parallel Architectures Group of the UPV, all these and other uses require a certain performance form the computer system to provide adequate service. "From the project, we will develop interconnection equipment that will connect efficiently and in a highly productive manner all elements of the computer system," notes José Flich, researcher of the Parallel Architectures Group of the Universitat Politècnica de València and project coordinator.
More competitiveness and less environmental impact of HPC infrastructures
Furthermore, the tools developed during the project will allow to improve the competitiveness of companies providing computer services and reduce the environmental impact of HPC infrastructures (High Performance Computing) of the EU, in line with the climate control targets proposed by the EU for the year 2020 and the real capabilities of large scale computing.
Alongside the UPV, eight other partners are involved in MANGO, from both the industrial and academic fields, namely from Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Croatia and the Netherlands. The project began at the end of last year and will run until the end of 2018.
