Energy Efficiency

Enable energy efficient usage of high-performance computing systems through research on infrastructure requirements and numerical solutions.

ExaFLOW
The main goal of ExaFLOW is to address key algorithmic challenges in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to enable simulation at exascale, guided by a number of use cases of industrial relevance, and to provide open-source pilot implementations.
ExaSolvers
Today, exascale computers are characterized by billion-way parallelism. Computing on such extreme scale needs methods, which scale perfectly and have optimal complexity. This project proposal brings together several crucial aspects of extreme scale solving.
Mont-Blanc 2
The limiting factor in the development of an Exascale High Performance Computer System is power consumption. The Mont-Blanc2 project focuses on the task to develop a next generation HPC system using embedded technologies to reach this difficult task.
Mont-Blanc 3
The Mont-Blanc project aims to design a new type of computer architecture capable of setting future HPC standards, built from energy efficient solutions used in embedded and mobile devices.
Sustainability in HPC Centers
The project's goal is to investigate how principles of sustainability could be applied to the Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum der Universität Stuttgart (HLRS).
