Objective
The EESP workshop fosters the exchange of innovative strategies, tools, and best practices to enhance energy efficiency in computing environments. Amid rising energy costs and ambitious sustainability goals, optimizing energy use is critical for managing computing infrastructure. The workshop focuses on balancing performance, energy and power consumption, and sustainability, offering practical guidance for exascale, Tier-1, and Tier-2 centers. Attendees will gain insights into greener, cost-effective practices to drive sustainability. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals, EESP bridges HPC and AI communities, empowering operators to help users make energy-conscious decisions. It highlights sustained performance over peak performance for future competitiveness.
Scope
EESP invites academia, supercomputing centers, industry, and policymakers to collaborate on advancing energy-efficient practices. Topics include software development, hardware design, and energy-efficient practices across various computing environments such as HPC clusters, data centers, and cloud infrastructure. Energy efficiency is a growing challenge, particularly for Tier-2 centers with limited resources. This workshop fosters dialogue between Tier-0/1 and Tier-2 centers to adapt Tier-0/1 innovations for constrained budgets. It targets financial and technical solutions applicable to HPC clusters, data centers, and cloud infrastructures globally.
Topics of Interests
The workshop aims to benefit the broader community by sharing use cases, lessons learned, and best practices through descriptive papers. We solicit papers which encompass the following topics of interest, but are not limited to:
- Energy efficiency analysis in computing environments
- Energy-aware software optimization techniques for HPC & AI
- Energy-efficient hardware architectures and practices for HPC & AI
- Energy-efficient scheduling and resource management
- Energy-efficient data center administration and operation
- Metrics for energy-efficient sustainable performance
- Cluster-wide energy benchmarking with continuous regression analysis
- Energy modeling, measurement and behavioral insights for CPUs and GPUs
- Tools for power and energy monitoring, management and control
- Renewable energy sources for HPC systems
- Emerging trends and future challenges in energy consumption (e.g., AI and machine learning workloads)
Format and Proceedings
The EESP Workshop 2025 invites submissions of research papers focused on energy efficiency and sustainable performance in high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.
Submission Guidelines
- Papers should be either short (work-in-progress, 6 pages) or regular (12 pages), including references and appendices.
- Use the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) template.
- Submit papers in PDF format through the EasyChair submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=eesp25.
Review Process
- Each submission will undergo a minimum of three single-blind peer reviews.
- Review criteria include originality, technical soundness, impact, and quality of presentation.
Post-Submission
- Accepted papers will be published as part of the ISC proceedings in the Springer LNCS series.
- There is an option for submitting two additional pages after the review to address reviewer feedback.
