Session 2:
Industry, Research & User Symposium
31st IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, & Analytics
🚀 IRUS Session 2
Title : Roads Towards Sustainability and the Role of Energy Efficient Computing
When : December 20, 2024, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM at Robusta
Theme: We are in the era of the AI revolution. High performance computing plays a significant role in scaling AI solutions which can process unimaginable amounts of data very efficiently. The range of applications are touching almost all parts of our civilization. While we are targeting to achieve more, the element of concern which is becoming extremely relevant is sustainability. It is an established fact that the amount of energy needed to run those high-end machines and the models have a significant amount of carbon footprint which is a worldwide concern.
In this session policy makers, industry experts and users are connecting together to share their experiences. We hope that this session will be a rewarding experience to the attendees.
HiPC believes and supports the sustainability cause and we promote going green for computing too!
