Application of green IT for physics data processing at INCDTIM

Abstract

Green IT is the next generation technology used in all datacenter around the world. Its benefit is of economic and financial interest. The new technologies are energy efficient, reduce cost and avoid potential disruptions to the existing infrastructure. The most important problem appears at the cooling systems which are the most important in the functionality of a datacenter. Green IT used in Grid Network will benefit the environment and is the next phase in computer infrastructure that will fundamentally change the way we think about and use computing power. At the National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies Cluj-Napoca (INCDTIM) we have implemented such kind of technology and its support helped us in processing multiple data in different domains, which brought INCDTIM on the major Grid domain with the RO-14-ITIM Grid site. In this paper we present benefits that the new technology brought us and the result obtained in the last year after the implementation of the new green technology.

Smart metering application for power efficiency studies

“…In this section, we present the smart metering application that was written by the authors -a data logger software which records and presents in a graphic mode, in real time, the important data (electric parameters and the temperatures) used by us to perform power consumption diagnostics at the data center at INCDTIM Cluj-Napoca [5,6]. The study of electricity consumption was performed using the information provided by a digital power meter type UPT-210, manufactured by Algodue Elettronica -Italy [7], and the temperatures used in the study were measured using a microcontroller-based module designed and built in INCDTIM.…”
