- Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the present detailed description which follows, by way of non-limiting example, and the appended figures among which:
- FIG. 1 illustrates a geometric definition of a room to accommodate a computer center
- FIGS. 2A-2E illustrate representations of the physical constraints associated with a computer center
- FIG. 3 illustrates a graphical interface according to one embodiment
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are flow charts of steps implemented in embodiments.
- FIG. 6 schematically illustrates a device according to one embodiment of the invention.
- a specification is established comprising a set of requirements that the computer must meet, for example a computing capacity in flops (for example teraflops), a memory capacity (for example in petaBytes), a data rate (input / output per second) or other.
- This performance can be achieved by combining elements typically present in a computer: storage servers, computing nodes, or other. Typically, these elements are associated with other equipment such as power supplies, cooling systems, network switches, or other. Generally speaking, all equipment is grouped into computer cabinets commonly referred to as "racks”.
- All the equipment (or elements) of a computer are interconnected, directly or indirectly, which requires connection cables and associated connectors (ports, sockets or other).
- a cluster must be able to store 800 TB (terabytes) and a server can store 80 TB, it is possible to deduce that the cluster must have 10 servers. It is also possible to deduce the type and number of additional equipment associated with these servers, for example the number of power supplies required, the type of cooling and the number of cabinets needed to group these elements together.
- the elements for constituting the cluster are chosen from previous projects.
- standard architectures can be stored in a memory and reused and possibly readapted. These can be predefined structures for networks, storage (or other) whose optimal character of the topology is known. It is thus possible to automate the cluster design based on topological constraints excluding purely material constraints. It is thus possible to make optimizations in real performances available contrary to purely theoretical optimizations derived from theoretical technical data.
- the configuration of the room intended to accommodate the computer is also taken into account.
- this room is defined geometrically, for example taking into account its three-dimensional dimensions.
- a geometric representation in three dimensions is illustrated in Figure 1.
- the room is a parallelepiped of length L, width I and height H.
- the room has an entrance door 10 and a vent 11.
- the dimensions of the door and the mouth of aeration are assumed to be known.
- the geometric definition of the room takes into account the available space and the ceiling height available to install the computer cabinets. In particular, it is possible to know the irregularities in the available volume. Indeed, it may happen that the room provided for the computer is not perfectly parallelepipedic and that for example the ceiling height is not uniform or that the surface of the room is not rectangular.
- the elements available to achieve the cluster can be contained in the local. More or less complex arrangements can be envisaged according to rules of installation of the cabinets. For example, it is possible to provide a spacing between the cabinets or not.
- the equipment brought to constitute the cluster may require special arrangements.
- equipment requiring cooling by water circulation must be placed near a water source.
- the arrangement of the electrical sources can influence the positioning of the computer cabinets in the room.
- FIG. 2A illustrates certain physical constraints that can be associated with the local of FIG. 1.
- an electrical power source of 4 MW is located on the ground in a first corner of the room on the side of the door.
- a 2 MW electrical source 201 is on the ground in a second corner of the door side room.
- Another 2 MW power source 202 is on the ground in a third corner of the room in front of the door.
- a 203 MW power source 203 is on the ground in a fourth corner of the door side room.
- a power source 204 of 4 MW is on the ground in the center of the room.
- the room also comprises two cable runs 205 and 206 traversing longitudinally the room and respectively comprising two openings 207, 208 and 209, 210. These cable trays accommodate the electrical cables and network cables connecting the various equipment of the cluster .
- the room may also include areas with higher or lower temperatures, for example because of the distribution of the vents. It is then possible to define cold points, that is to say relatively low temperature zones and hot spots, that is to say relatively high temperature zones. Typically, equipment requiring strong cooling should preferably be placed near cold spots and should not be placed near hot spots.
- the configuration according to FIG. 1A is purely illustrative. Other configurations of network cabling, electrical wiring, or water (cooling) distribution network may be considered.
- Figure 2B shows a room 211 with a false ceiling
- the false ceiling could also have several levels.
- the false ceiling has a network wiring network, as shown in Figure 2C which is a top view of the false ceiling.
- This network comprises network concentrators 215 (NET1) and 216 (NET2) from which extends a network of communication cables 217, 218.
- NET1 network concentrators 215
- NET2 network concentrators 215
- NET2 network concentrators 215
- NET2 network concentrators 215
- NET2 network concentrators 215
- connection ports 219, 220, 221 which are accessible. from the local 211.
- These jacks connect the computer cabinets (or "racks").
- the position of these connection ports may depend on the configuration of the false ceiling, for example because of the volume available to place the concentrator 215 or 216.
- the first level of false floor 213 comprises for example a cooling water distribution network as shown in Figure 2D which is a top view of this first floor level false.
- This level of false floor comprises a water inlet and a water outlet 222 for supplying and purging a cooling circuit 223.
- the water inlet supplies the circuit 223 via a cooling module 237.
- the cooling circuit winds in the false floor to cover the surface under the room.
- Connection points 224-227 are regularly present on the circuit and are accessible from the room in order to connect computer cabinets to cool them by circulation of water cooled by the cooling module. Given the direction of water flow, for example, first passing through point 224 to point 227, the water available at point 224 is cooler than the water available in point 227 because at point 224 it is is directly from the cooling module. This can be a positioning constraint for the racks requiring the most cooling, these being preferably connected to the coldest connection points.
- the false floor level 213 includes (upwards and downwards) electrical cable passages 228-230 for passing electric cables from the lower false floor level 214 to the room.
- the second level of false floor 214 comprises for example a power distribution network as shown in Figure 2E which is a top view of the second floor level false.
- This false floor level comprises two power sources 231 (PWR1), 232 (PWR2).
- the source 231 has a lower power than the source 232.
- These power sources extend power distribution cables 233, 234, 235 according to a mesh of the surface of the room.
- the mesh depends on the position of the power sources that can be given by the entry point to the power network of the building in which the room is located.
- This mesh may also depend on the cooling circuit located in the level of the above so that the cable passages are not located directly below a pipe.
- connection sockets from the local to connect computer cabinets At the cable passages there are accessible connection sockets from the local to connect computer cabinets.
- the mesh of the electrical network can thus constitute a compaction constraint of the computer cabinets, in particular with regard to their power requirements. For example, cabinets requiring high power must be placed near the cable passages to be connected to the higher
- equipment with high power consumption must be connected to the source 203 because it is the largest source of electrical power. This implies that this equipment must be at the corner of the room where this source is located.
- the electrical load must be distributed but most equipment must have a redundant power supply. It is then necessary to distribute the equipment in an optimized manner and this taking into account other constraints: distance, redundancy, electrical phase, or other.
- an element library stores the characteristics of these elements, in particular their dimensions, their electrical consumption, the list of elements associated with them (power supply, network connection or other), or any other characteristic.
- the library is associated with a set of equipment installation rules. For example, it indicates that a type of equipment to be cooled by water circulation must be close to a water supply, or to distribute the equipment according to their power consumption. and the distribution of electrical sources in the room or other.
- a list is generated with a message indicating the arrangements to operate in the room (for example, need an additional power source, need additional space, or other).
- FIGS. 1 and 2. It is a software graphical interface, more commonly called “window” comprising a first frame 300 in which is displayed a three-dimensional representation of the cluster installed in the local. This representation uses the references of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Two computer cabinets 301, 302 of the cluster are represented in three dimensions according to a layout determined according to the specifications, the geometry of the room, its physical constraints and installation rules. For the sake of brevity, only two cabinets were represented but in reality a cluster has a larger number of cabinets.
- the cabinet 301 is connected to the electrical source 202 and the cable tray 206.
- the cabinet 302 is connected to the electrical source 203 and the cable tray 205.
- the elements can be represented in a color code by type or by state in order to bring the representation closer to reality.
- the user can navigate the room by zooming on selected areas and moving the view to see the room from different perspectives.
- the list of elements selected to constitute the cluster is displayed in a frame 303 in order to allow the user to know all the elements present in the cluster. Indeed, the three-dimensional view of the cabinets may not be sufficient to know the contents of each cabinet.
- a frame 304 displays the library of elements according to the invention.
- the user selects an item from the library and then slides it from the frame 304 to the frame 300 (a "drag and drop" operation).
- a process of updating the list is then implemented. For example, one or more installation rules are applied to determine whether or not it is possible to add or remove an item.
- a tool for assisting the design of a computer center thus makes it possible to provide a user (for example a designer or a person responsible for answering a call for tenders):
- the possibility of defining the physical constraints associated with the room the possibility of defining the physical constraints associated with the room (false floor, cable ducts, air conditioning inlets, water inflow, electric arrivals, or other) the possibility of defining an arrangement of the elements available in the library to form the cluster (positioning of the elements in the 2D or 3D representation of the local,
- a power supply is automatically associated with the node, for example, if it is a service node, a dual power supply is selected it needs a dual power supply).
- the design assistance tool according to the present invention is used by "pre-sales” services (that is to say the commercial phase preceding the industrial design phase) for be able to realize the feasibility of a cluster according to the needs of the client, the available space to receive the cluster and the equipment available to realize the cluster. It can also be used to encrypt such a project.
- An interface according to the present invention for example an interface according to FIG. 3, makes it possible to have a close vision of the reality of the final cluster implanted in the room: positioning of the racks, positioning of the various equipment in the racks.
- the rise in power that is to say the energy dissipation
- the electrical load requested by the cluster is in adequacy with the available power within the room and with the cooling capacities. Improvements to the room can then be decided on the basis of this simulation. It is also possible to determine the maximum number of nodes (with the equipment on which they themselves depend) and therefore the theoretical maximum power (in FLOPS).
- the energy envelope, the dimensions of the room, and the power of calculation can be paramount criteria in a specification for a cluster.
- the interface according to the invention allows the user to process in real time all of these criteria to design the cluster, and possibly to correct certain aspects, for example, according to previous cluster projects.
- the present invention can be implemented in software form. For example in the Java language.
- the graphical interface in particular the view in the frame 300 can be done in several levels:
- Ethernet administration Ethernet BMC, electrical interconnection, or other
- the tool according to the present invention can make it possible to generate the "Netlist” (that is to say the complete list of the elements to be controlled, rules of assembly and wiring).
- the tool makes it possible to define the role of each node in the cluster and to define the associated software profile (list of packages to be installed, configuration).
- Fig. 4 is a flow chart of steps implemented in one embodiment.
- a technical specification is established and includes a set of criteria on the needs that the cluster must meet.
- a plan of the local to host the cluster is also established.
- the user then launches a software application on a computer (or any other device configured for the implementation of the method).
- a first step S400 for example via a graphical interface, the user geometrically defines the local. For example, it enters the dimensions of the room. Alternatively, the user loads a three-dimensional modeling file describing the geometry of the local.
- the user defines the constraints of the local.
- the software interface proposes "standard" constraints regularly encountered in the premises hosting clusters. These may include false floors, water inlets, electrical connections, doors, vents, cable trays or other.
- the user can also specify the maximum weight supported, the maximum total electrical power available in the room, the cooling power, or other.
- this data can be loaded from a dedicated file.
- the requirements that the cluster must satisfy are defined, for example, in particular:
- FLOPS gross performance
- connection in terms of connection with the outside (backbone) with required flow and types of connection (fiber, copper, or other).
- step S403 Once the local geometrically defined and its physical constraints and once known cluster requirements, it is established one or more temporary lists of elements of the component library meeting the needs in a step S403. At first, the local is not taken into account. Such a step makes it possible, for example, to start from previous cluster projects. In this step, hardware dependency rules can be applied to determine which items to include in the list whose presence results from the use of other equipment to meet a requirement of the specification.
- step S403 one or more lists are available. It is then necessary to determine among these lists, the one that allows installation in the room as defined by its geometry and its physical constraints.
- a layout algorithm is then implemented to determine if for each list, all the equipment can be installed in the room. This algorithm combines a set of installation rules and is implemented in step S404.
- the area occupied by this number of computer cabinets is compared to the surface available in the room. This makes it possible to make a first selection among the lists. Indeed, if the area occupied by the cabinets is greater than the surface of the room, it is not possible to arrange the cluster in the room.
- installation rules are taken into account, such as the distribution of electricity sources, water inflow, ventilation, and so on.
- the order of application of the rules may for example depend on the importance given to each or the filtering capacity of each rule. It is recalled that the application of the rules, in addition to ensuring that the elements allow the cluster to meet the needs and ensure that the cluster can be installed in the local, aim to select the best list among those determined during step S403.
- step S404 When a list complies with the rules applied in step S404, it is stored in step S405. When a list does not respond to the rules applied in step S404, it is deleted in step S406.
- step S407 it is determined whether all the lists generated in step S404 have been considered. If there are still lists to which the rules have not been applied, return to step S404.
- step S408 a final list is generated in step S408. It is possible to consider the case where several lists comply with the rules of step S404. It is then the user who chooses the list that is best. Alternatively, the lists are sorted according to predetermined criteria such as, for example, cost optimization, implementation complexity, the number of equipment required, or other. This makes it possible to select the best solution for a given criterion.
- the needs of the cluster have been considered before the geometry of the local and its physical constraints.
- Figure 5 illustrates steps implemented to allow the user to modify (or adjust) the cluster in real time.
- a graphical representation of the local is displayed on a screen. This representation can be in two or three dimensions. The user can navigate in this representation by varying the angles of view. Such a representation is illustrated in FIG.
- step S501 the physical constraints of the local are added to the geometric representation of the local.
- the representation of the local resulting from such a step is illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the elements of the cluster are displayed in the representation of the local, according to an arrangement meeting the installation rules, for example as applied in step S404.
- the triggering of the steps S500, S501 and S502 can be done automatically or by the intervention of the user, for example by clicking on a dedicated button (not shown) in the interface according to FIG. 3.
- the display elements can be triggered by the selection by the user of a list from a set of lists generated during a step such as step S408.
- step S503 when the user wishes to modify the represented cluster, he issues a command in this sense which is received during step S503. For example, it is to drag ("drag and drop" in English terminology) an element of the frame 304 of Figure 3 in the frame 300 of the same figure.
- the cluster view can be done in a level of detail that allows the cluster to be changed to a very low or very high level. For example, it may be possible to position "pre-assembled" complete racks with already positioned nodes. It may also be possible to be able to change the processor of a node (or a set), change the type of memory (different frequency), or other.
- the impact on certain criteria can be presented as for example the energy envelope, the change of the total performance, the distribution of heat losses, or other.
- a specific representation of the room can be displayed, such as for example a heat loss map with red areas at the places of the room where the loss is high and blue areas where it is lower, with a gradient of colors. for intermediate areas.
- the same type of card can be considered for power consumption or other.
- the list of elements of the cluster can constitute a Netlisf containing all the components of the solution (number of nodes of type N, number of PDUs of type X, number, sizes and types of cables, or other %) as well than their interconnections.
- the present invention can automatically generate basic solutions to meet the requirements of a specification in a simple scheme in which a set of parameters are provided and then from a library of "usable" elements. "(or available from the cluster builder) a solution is generated.
- This automatically generated solution allows to have a first version of the cluster which can be refined later.
- the present invention makes it possible to quickly and intuitively evaluate the feasibility and possibly the cost of implementing a cluster and its implementation.
- the final installation of the cluster can be taken into account very early in the cluster design.
- the representation can be used to generate cabling tags and to provide the persons in charge of the cluster installation with a precise list of the positions and connections between the equipment constituting the cluster. These labels can give the model and the length of the cables.
- the present invention can be implemented by computer means such as for example a computer. It is possible to envisage a local execution of a software implementing a method according to the invention or a remote execution.
