Start of the Interdisciplinary Center "GreenCompute – Center for Saving Energy in Large-Scale Data Analysis and HPC"
IZ GreenCompute – Center for Saving Energy in Large-Scale Data Analysis and HPC
The Interdisciplinary Center GreenCompute sets out to research, establish, manage and communicate energy-reducing measures in large-scale computing and in HPC at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It will be based on two pillars - research track and transfer track - which will interact continuously: one dedicated to original, interdisciplinary research, and one concerned with the introduction of technologies and infrastructures which in turn enable and support this research and at the same time implement its findings technically.
The work of the center will be closely coordinated with the novel HPC@HU service and within the Berlin University Alliance (BUA). A cornerstone of the center is the interdisciplinary cooperation of experts in data analysis / HPC with scientists relying on such services. Both parties are represented equally in the pair of speakers and in its PIs. The center will also reach out to a rich network of other organizations that are also concerned with the ever-increasing energy hunger of digital research methods.
