1.2.3: HEC Energy Demands
Reduce the steadily rising energy demands of large-scale HEC systems and facilities, which typically consume many megawatts
per year for operations and cooling.
Other Information:
Because advances to change this unsustainable energy-use trajectory may arise from multiple research fields, the search for
scientific breakthroughs must be pursued across the board, in power management and heat dissipation technologies, new materials
such as nanoscale composites, novel power-saving platform and system architectures, computing technologies (e.g., nonvolatile
computing), and computational methods (e.g., spintronics, analog computing), as well as in next-generation computing concepts
such as quantum information science. Advances in nano, biological, and quantum sciences also may lead the way to radically
different system architectures and computational methods, providing the basis for next-generation leadership in computing
at all scales.
