The SEANERGYS project was featured at the HiPEAC 2026 conference in Krakow, where we hosted a workshop titled “Towards Energy-Efficient Exascale Computing: Challenges, Innovations, and Synergies.” The session explored recent developments across the project’s key focus areas and sparked an engaging discussion with participants from related initiatives.

The workshop brought together experts from HPC system and application software development, system architecture, research institutions, and large HPC/AI sites. It triggered a lively discussion on emerging strategies and collaborative pathways for energy-efficient Exascale and post-Exascale computing. This included topics like energy-aware system design, power-optimized system software, energy-optimised operation, and the integration of AI for adaptive energy management.

 

Sai Narasimhamurthy (ParTec AG) opened the workshop with a general overview of the project. This was followed by Yiannis Georgiou(RYAX), who presented the requirements and use cases, as well as the monitoring infrastructure. Andrea Bartolini (University of Bologna) introduced the AI & Data Analytics framework (AIDAS). Simon Pickartz (ParTec AG) then covered the Dynamic Resource Management framework (DSRM). Finally, Ondrej Vysocky (IT4I)  discussed the evaluation by HPC/AI centers, followed by a broader conversation on how SEANERGYS software can be adopted across the European HPC/AI infrastructure (EuroHPC JU hosting sites and centers funded via other mechanisms).

The audience discussion focused on how these tools can ultimately benefit scientific users, with particular attention to improving energy efficiency in large-scale computing environments.
