High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads require immense computational power, creating significant challenges for data center infrastructure. These challenges stem from limitations in energy availability, grid capacity, and the need for sustainable operations.

The panel will explore these power-related issues, particularly focusing on the difficulties data centers face due to limited grid capacity, fluctuating energy supplies, and stringent environmental regulations. Additionally, the discussion will consider how solutions like renewable energy sources and energy storage systems could address these challenges.

Panel Overview

• Energy Constraints: HPC workloads place extreme demands on energy, often exceeding the available grid capacity and causing power-related bottlenecks.
• Sustainability Concerns: Environmental regulations and the push for greener operations are forcing data centers to seek alternative energy solutions.
• Potential Solutions: Renewable energy sources and energy storage systems are emerging as viable options to meet the power needs of HPC infrastructure while maintaining sustainability.
