Sustainable Supercomputing
DescriptionSustainable supercomputing is a pressing topic for our community, industry, and governments. Supercomputing has an ever-increasing need for computational cycles while facing the increasing challenges of delivering performance/Watt advances within the context of climate change, the drive towards net-zero, and geo-political-economic pressures.

Improving supercomputing sustainability provides many opportunities considering an end-to-end, holistic view of the HPC system, facility, site, and broader environment. All elements of the HPC system must be considered, from low-level circuits, up the software stack and beyond to power/cooling systems. The drive towards more sustainable supercomputing requires measurements, metrics, goals, and improvement processes.

This workshop will gather users, researchers, and developers to address the opportunities and challenges of supercomputing sustainability. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Deployment of supercomputing systems
• Data center efficiency
• Software tools for measuring energy efficiency throughout the supercomputing system
• Standardization of measurement/reporting of key sustainability metrics and emissions
