Abstract
Abstract
As the performance, power, and heat density of supercomputers continues to grow — driven by the integration of high-power heterogeneous components such as multi-core CPUs, GPUs, high-bandwidth memory, and high bandwidth interconnects — coordinated strategies across facilities, utilities, HPC systems, and applications are required to manage energy use, reduce environmental impact, and ensure long-term operational viability.
The Energy Efficient HPC State of the Practice workshop will focus on the operational, infrastructural, and environmental challenges of deploying and managing modern high-performance computing systems. The primary objective of this workshop is to capture and disseminate best practices, case studies, and reproducible operational experiences from HPC centers, facilities, and vendors worldwide.
While energy efficiency has long been recognized as a critical constraint, sustainability metrics such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, embodied carbon, and water consumption are now also coming into focus. This workshop will explore how to address these challenges across the full lifecycle of HPC systems — from design and manufacturing through daily operations, reuse, and decommissioning.
The workshop also considers AI infrastructure, which increasingly mirrors HPC in system architecture and operational demands. There are lessons to be learned from the HPC community that should help with the operation of Megawatt-scale AI racks, warm-water cooling, and hyperscale deployments. The convergence of these domains presents an opportunity to align practices, metrics, and innovations in service of a shared future where performance and sustainability must coexist.
As part of this peer-reviewed workshop, we solicit papers that capture best practices, policies, procedures, and technologies. The vision is to help the broader community benefit from these experiences. The papers are intended to identify use cases, lessons learned, and best practices in design, commissioning, and operations. The solicited papers will be generally descriptive with concrete, reproducible, and empirical data gathered through surveys, case studies, and research for practice.
