Recent performance gains in supercomputing are being outpaced by soaring power consumption, especially in leadership-class supercomputers. AI infrastructures face similar challenges, with large language models driving energy demands to critical levels. In response, data centers are expanding their power and cooling capacities, adding further to their global environmental footprint. The need for improved energy efficiency in computing has never been more urgent. Have we already reached a critical tipping point, or can innovation drive a more sustainable future? This talk explores the latest advances and examines strategies for balancing the growing energy demands of advanced computing with environmental responsibility.
No registration is required!
