HPE, DoE partner for AI-driven energy efficiency

HP Enterprise has partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a unit of the Department of Energy, to create AI and machine learning-systems for greater data-center energy efficiency. The Department of Energy lab will provide HPE with multiple years' worth of historical data from sensors within its supercomputers and in its Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) High-Performance Computing (HPC) Data Center, one of the world's most efficient data centers. This information will help other organizations to optimize their own operations, said NREL. The project, dubbed "AI Ops R&D collaboration," is expected to run over three years. Already NREL has 16 terabytes of data from the ESIF data center, collected from sensors in NREL's supercomputers, Peregrine and Eagle, and its facility.
