Building a Green Supercomputer in the Cloud

Explore a case study on implementing a carbon-aware high-performance compute (HPC) cluster for wind turbine simulations at Vestas in this conference talk from NDC Sydney. Learn how to apply green software principles and cloud scalability to design a solution capable of scaling to 400,000 cores and managing multiple petabytes of data. Discover the use of open-source tools, user experience design, and data analysis to reduce carbon emissions. Gain insights into explaining green software principles, applying best practices for carbon reduction, illustrating the financial impact of emission reductions on businesses, and identifying areas with significant carbon impact. Understand how to build environmentally conscious supercomputing solutions in the cloud while balancing performance and sustainability.
