Power consumption and performance is a troublesome design constraint for HPC systems. If current trends continue, future petaflop systems will require 100 megawatts of power to maintain high-performance. To address this problem the power and energy characteristics of high performance systems must be characterized. Victor will present an analysis of the use of a customized Linux OS and a distributed network of ultra-low-power microprocessors platforms (Intel R AtomTM Processor E3815- Minnow-Max). The results shows not only the impact that a customized OS can have on the execution of HPC benchmarks in an embedded distributed system but also the capabilities and future applications
