ETASIS is proud to be Dawning’s strategic partner to provide 2KW power supply modules, EFRP-SB09, in building Nebulae TC3600 Supercomputer, which is ranked No. 2 in global TOP500 supercomputer list as of May, 2010.

Nebulae, which is located at the National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen, China, achieved 1.271 PFlop/s running the Linpack benchmark, which puts it in the No. 2 spot on the TOP500. More impressively, with its NVidia GPU accelerators, Nebulae achieved the highest ever theoretical peak capability of 2.98 petaflop/s.

With Nebulae’s power requirement of 2.55 megawatts, ETASIS has developed a high-performance and high-efficient redundant module, EFRP-SB09, to fulfill its need. If applies input voltage of 220VAC, EFRP-SB09 can achieve total output power of 2000 watts with two output power ratings listed as 166.6A at 12V, and 4A at 12VSB. Furthermore, with active power factor correction and soft-switching, the power module can achieve maximum efficiency of 86%. Compared to typical efficiency of 75%, EFRP-SB09 can save up to $21,000 USD per month.

In addition to high-performance and high-efficiency, EFRP-SB09 also incorporates Power Management Bus (PMBus). PMBus is an open standard power-management protocol with a fully defined command language that facilitates communication with power converters and other devices in a power system. EFRP-SB09 supports the following commands:
‧ Input Power Reading
‧ Input Voltage Reading
‧ Input Current Reading
‧ Output Power Reading
‧ Output Voltage Reading
‧ Output Current Reading
‧ Over/Under Voltage Alert
‧ Over/Under Current Alert
‧ Temperature Monitor
‧ Over Temperature Alert
‧ Fan Speed Control
‧ Fan Speed Alert

Through PMBus, Dawning’s server administrator is able to design applications to monitor and control power consumption based on monitoring results. The power supply is not a “black box” any more. It can be managed and controlled by system and achieve even higher efficiency and reliability.

The newest Top 500 supercomputer list, which is issued twice annually, was released on May 31st at the 2010 International Supercomputer Conference in Hamburg, Germany. For more information please visit http://top500.org/ and http://www.dawning.com.cn/
