ECO-SCALE

Building Skills for Large-Scale and Energy-Efficient Scientific Computing in the NES

Abstract

ECO-SCALE promotes the use of large-scale computing infrastructures and strengthens skills in energy-efficient scientific computing through a community-driven approach. Central to the project is the establishment of a Community of Practice and Training Network, in which NES researchers and support staff can jointly explore and exchange best practices for large-scale computing and sustainable, energy-conscious research workflows. In addition, ECO-SCALE will develop a freely accessible knowledge base containing guidelines, documentation, and training materials, complemented by targeted educational programmes tailored to stakeholders with diverse backgrounds. Finally, the project will share experiences, insights, and lessons learned with relevant national and international communities.
