EAR

Up to 50% Energy Optimization

for AI

& HPC Workloads

Power is expensive, finite, and heavily regulated. EAR - Energy Aware Runtime, is a system software that helps AI and HPC data centers achieve more performance per watt by optimizing energy use in real time.

Unlock More Performance Per Watt

As HPC and AI workloads grow, so does their energy demand. Data centers need smarter tools to gain efficiency, not just in hardware, but in how systems run.

EAR (Energy Aware Runtime) is a software that monitors, analyzes, and dynamically optimizes your infrastructure in real time. It connects workloads, servers, and cooling systems to gain energy you didn’t know you had.

Designed for AI factories and HPC data centers, EAR helps you:

Monitoring & Analysis

⇨ Power, Energy, CO2, Temperature at system and job level.
⇨ CPU and GPU Performance metrics
⇨ Hints for better resource utilization

Energy Optimization

⇨ Reduce Electricity Bill, OPEX, TCO and CO2.
⇨ Increase Performance per Watt, up to 50% of energy gains
⇨ Report energy saved and potential energy savings

Smart Power Capping

⇨ Maintain DC power/energy within a given limit.
⇨ Maximize Performance under a power limit
⇨ Eliminate power peaks

Turn Efficiency into a Competitive Advantage

Designed for AI factories and HPC data centers, EAR helps you:

Save up to 50% energy

Reduce Total Cost of Ownership

Lower operational costs OPEX and extend hardware lifespan
