The power consumption and energy density of modern supercomputer architectures are pushing operational budgets and infrastructures cooling technologies to the limit. The premises of an HPC centre, its capacities, efficiency, and flexibility, therefore define the limits of the centre's future development capabilities and the economics of its operation. Hence energy and cooling efficient building infrastructures have become a strategic asset for todays and future High Performance Computing (HPC) centres.

The 3rd workshop on HPC centre infrastructures follows the very successful series of workshops held in September 2009 in Lugano, Swizerland and in October 2010 in Dourdan, France. Specialists for HPC centre design and infrastructure technologies will meet supercomputer centre staff responsible for infrastructure development and operations. This year’s workshop will give an insight in current state of the art HPC infrastructure monitoring and automation technologies as well as on outstanding HPC infrastructure projects around the globe.

The event will take place on September 21-22, 2011 at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Garching, Germany. Attendance at main conference will be on invitation only with an additional day reserved for members of PRACE.

Registration Fee 200 € (including lunch and dinner)
Hotel Fees 100-150 € / night (including breakfast)
Venue Leibniz Supercomputing Centre Garching, Germany
