SUMMARY:MS3A - Supercomputing for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:This minisymposium will showcase how supercomputing is advanci
 ng efforts to address global challenges aligned with the 17 United Nations
  Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Talks will explore a range of topic
 s, including the use of digital twins for sustainability, GeoAI and earth 
 modeling for understanding and visualizing uncertainty at scale, and lever
 aging high-performance computing to advance health and energy solutions. T
 he session will also address the energy demands of supercomputing itself, 
 with a focus on strategies to minimize energy consumption in computational
 ly intensive simulations. Through these discussions, the session highlight
 s the critical role of supercomputing in driving innovation and supporting
  global sustainability efforts.\n\nDigital Twins for Sustainability\n\nThe
  increasing computational demand for AI has resulted in a significant incr
 ease in the amount of energy consumed by data centers. The International E
 nergy Agency has projected that data center energy consumption could doubl
 e from 2022 to 2026 and has become a major cost factor in the procurement

  (HPE)\n---------------------\nGeoAI, Earth Models and the Visualization o
 f Uncertainty at Scale\n\nIncreasingly complex GeoAI models produce visual
  results that suggest more clarity and certainty than they often contain. 
 Seductive graphics suggest clarity and continuity and gloss over ambiguiti
 es in favor of coherent depictions of consumable and readable graphic repr
 esentations. This presentation...\n\n\nMarc Böhlen (University at Buffalo)
 \n---------------------\nEnergy Cost of Supercomputing: Minimizing Energy 
 Consumption in Particle Simulations\n\nIn recent years, high-performance c
 omputing (HPC) systems have experienced exponential growth in performance 
 that has outpaced the improvements in energy efficiency. While this progre
 ss has significantly advanced many scientific fields, like drug discovery,
  fusion reactor modeling, and climate resea...\n\n\nManish Mishra, Fabio G

 or the SDGs\n\nThis presentation will explore the transformative role of h
 igh-performance computing (HPC) in advancing the United Nations’ 17 Sustai
 nable Development Goals (SDGs). HPC provides a critical capability for sol
 ving global challenges, such as health disparities, and energy access. By
