Abstract
An intelligent, high power distributed power system used in a massively parallel processing (MPP) computer is described. The 7.5 kW power system has high availability, redundancy, fault tolerance, battery back-up, and a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI). A diagnostic subsystem monitors and tests the operation of the power system to ensure the functionality of the redundant assemblies
