The main objective of the Sustainable HPC project is to develop an advanced solution for managing associated with the operation of the Deucalion supercomputer. This solution, which is disruptive in that it manages a number of assets with a view to minimizing the carbon footprint of the supercomputer’s operation, has a very significant potential for potential, given the energy intensity of this type of device and the possibility of the solution being scaled up. possibility of the solution to be developed being scaled (via the EuroHPC network) and replicated (to data centers, for example).

The goal is to set up a laboratory, associated with Deucalion, which will have a diverse set of of energy conversion sources (electricity and thermal), both from the point of view of generation and storage. In detail the aim of the project is to develop a system capable of analyzing, in advance and based on models that use computational intelligence, the availability of electricity from renewable sources, opting at each moment for the combination of resources that allow a more carbon-free operation, also including demand-side management by acting on the computational processes whenever possible.
