EE HPC WG Liquid Cooling Controls Team Whitepaper

This paper defines data inputs for dynamic controls to manage high performance computing (HPC) facilities and IT control systems. Each input includes parameters about measurement frequency and accuracy that are within a rough order of magnitude, but not an absolute limit. Each input also includes information about whether it would typically be provided by the facility or by the HPC system or whether its provision would have to be negotiated. This document is intended to be a guideline for data inputs to consider when designing a liquid cooling control system. It is not a design specification. Each site will develop their specific design based on their specific situation.
