High performance computing (HPC) has become an essential part of our modern world performing complex simulations and calculations that are essential to scientific research, engineering, security and other fields. However, as the demand for HPC has grown, often in supercomputers and large datacenters, so has the concern about its environmental impact. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on data center sustainability given the implications on total cost of ownership and climate concerns. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the key issues around data center energy efficiency and discuss some of the strategies from AMD to help reduce environmental impacts from HPC.
