Government plans world’s most energy-efficient data center
Come the summer of 2013, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will use one of the world's most energy efficient data centers to handle complex renewable energy and energy efficiency research. NREL's High Performance Computer (HPC) center in Golden, Colo., will feature the largest supercomputer dedicated to clean energy research -- one that uses more than 3,200 powerful Intel Xeon microprocessors to run super fast (at peak performance it can crunch more than a thousand trillion floating point operations per second).
