Humboldt Highway II - computer cluster on renewable energies

2 Aug 2023, 09:00 → 3 Aug 2023, 16:00 Europe/Berlin

2nd Aug, Sem1, 3d Aug Sem3 (DESY Hamburg)

Hannes Jung (DESY)

The Scope: Since many years we cooperate with scientists from the InSTEC institute at Havana University in the field of Elementary Particle Physics. students come nearly every year to attend the DESY summerstudent program in Hamburg, and many students from Havana have started and very successfully completed their PhD at DESY/Hamburg University.

 

While we progress scientifically very fast when scientists come in person to DESY Hamburg, the progress is slowed down when they are back in Cuba, since the internet connection and computing facilities are limited.

 

With the support from HamburgAmbassador a small workshop will be organized at DESY,Hamburg,  on "Humboldt Highway II - a computer cluster on renewable energies". 

 

The idea is to discuss possibilities to build a (small) computer cluster which runs fully on renewable energies to support the scientific exchange program between scientists in Cuba and in Hamburg. 

 

One of the ideas was to use Solar Energy to supply a computer cluster in Cuba, and at this small workshop we would like to discuss with you and experts from DESY and Hamburg the requirements and possibilities.

 

Organizers

Hannes Jung (chair), Sandra Consuegra Rodriguez,  Luis Ignacio Estevez Banos, Danyer Perez Adan, Juergen Nicklaus (HamburgAmbassador)

This workshop is part of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development
