Laboratory Supercomputing Center News Today

MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Supercomputing Center has developed tools to reduce data center energy use by power-capping hardware and by improving the efficiency with which models are trained — in some cases, their techniques reduce energy use by 80%.

Vendors and operators attempt to balance power and security, but right now, power is the highest goal.

The MIT Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center has released a dataset containing more than a million jobs run on its TX-GAIA supercomputer, with the goal of using this data to feed AI research into optimizing data center resources. The team has kicked off the MIT Datacenter Challenge to mobilize this research.
