ABSTRACT
Peregrine is composed of 1440 computational nodes based on Intel Xeon processors and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors, with a peak speed of 1.2 Petaflops, making it the world's fastest high-performance computing (HPC) system dedicated to advancing renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Peregrine resides at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a US Department of Energy laboratory, located in Golden, Colorado, dedicated to research and advancing renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Peregrine is the flagship computing resource of Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The energy recovery water system provides hydronic cooling for both the HPC data center and central HVAC equipment. Power for the data center comes from the main electrical room and mechanical space on the Energy Systems Integration Facility second level and it provides for both normal and stand-by power via a central UPS system.
