Switzerland’s supercomputers help researchers better understand earthquakes, cardiovascular dynamics and a host of other critical topics.
GE’s new UPS system, battery storage and commissioning services also will reduce the costs and environmental impact of high performance computing.
The system’s efficiency will save the center nearly 800,000kWh of electricity each year, an annual cost savings of about $80,000.
The solution includes redundant architecture, emergency generation and battery backup that keep the center’s critical components on task through temporary power outages or shortages.
CSCS associate director Ladina Gilly said GE has provided the company with a convincing solution that helps it reduce operating costs and increase energy efficiency."
UPS installation will be completed before the end of this year.
CSCS develops and promotes technical and scientific services for the Swiss research community in the fields of high-performance computing.
