GAINESVILLE, Va., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) as we speak introduced that the International Standards Group (ISG) has fashioned the Server Efficiency Committee to supervise the institution and growth of standardized server benchmarks to be used primarily in governmental laws and compliance packages associated to power use and sustainability. A key mandate of the Committee is to collaborate with nationwide and worldwide requirements growth organizations, equivalent to The Green Grid, to reinforce international requirements. Members of the ISG Server Efficiency Committee embody AMD, Ampere, Dell, HPE, IBM, Inspur, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA and University of Würzburg. The Committee, which took over growth of SERT 2 suite, additionally introduced the discharge of SERT 2.0.6 suite.
“The Server Efficiency Committee will focus on the global demand for greater coordination around server efficiency standards and updated benchmarks that reflect evolving server technologies and sustainability requirements,” mentioned SPEC Server Efficiency Committee Chair Sanjay Sharma. “The SERT suite is a major first step in creating a single, internationally recognized benchmark for use in every regional and national standard and regulation focused on the energy efficiency of servers. I encourage additional organizations, government agencies and vendors with a stake in sustainability and the future of energy efficiency standards to join the Server Efficiency Committee.”
“Sustainable IT is now a critical global requirement, and the creation of the Server Efficiency Committee represents a tremendous opportunity to leverage the deep expertise SPEC has developed to enhance its trusted, independent SPEC SERT suite, so it continues to be the global gold standard for accurately measuring modern server energy efficiency,” mentioned David Reiner, Chair of The Green Grid (TGG). “This effort won’t be easy, but it’s essential, and I’m delighted about TGG and SPEC’s ongoing collaboration on this vital benchmark.”
SERT 2.0.6 suite
The ISO/IEC 21836-compliant SERT suite supplies a stable technical base that organizations and governments can use to attain their power effectivity goals. SERT outcomes are required to promote servers in Japan and the European Union (EU), in addition to for Cloud Service Provider deployments within the EU. In the U.S., SERT measurements are required for firms searching for ENERGY STAR for Enterprise Server certifications from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, the China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS) and India’s Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) are at present contemplating the SERT suite for inclusion of their upcoming server power laws.
SERT 2.0.6 suite updates embody:
- Windows Server 2022 help – Reflects SPEC’s dedication to conserving its benchmarks present with rising applied sciences, and ensures organizations can proceed making the most of the suite as they improve to the most recent Microsoft server know-how.
- Integration of the SPEC PTDaemon 1.10.0 Interface:
- Additional temperature sensors – In response to person requests for added temperature sensors, customers can now select from an excellent bigger number of ISO-compliant temperature sensors. The PTDaemon Interface now helps TFA Dostman and Cleware temperature sensors.
- Multichannel mode – Allows for compliant outcomes through channel summing on gadgets that help it (Hioki 3336/3337, Yokogawa WT330/500, ZES Zimmer LMG 450/500/600). This allows customers to measure bigger methods with fewer energy analyzers.
- LXI protocol – Added the LXI protocol code to the Linux interface to allow connecting gadgets, equivalent to Yokogawa, utilizing this protocol. Allows customers to decide on their most well-liked energy analyzer interface.
Available for fast obtain
The SERT 2.0.6 suite is accessible for fast obtain from SPEC for two,800 USD. Discounts can be found for qualifying non-profit analysis and tutorial organizations. Current SERT 2 licensees are eligible to obtain a free improve. The SERT suite requires a SPEC-accepted energy analyzer and temperature sensor. Visit the SERT 2 web site for extra info.
