Minisymposium Presentation

This presentation will explore the transformative role of high-performance computing (HPC) in advancing the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). HPC provides a critical capability for solving global challenges, such as health disparities, and energy access. By enabling large-scale data processing and simulations, HPC helps to unearth emerging trends and accelerate innovations in renewable energy, healthcare, education, and agriculture—key areas in the SDGs. The talk will cover practical examples of HPC applications, including precision medicine (SDG 3), and renewable energy optimization and smart grid (SDG 7). Furthermore, the discussion will highlight the need for equitable access to HPC resources in low-resource settings, fostering global collaboration in solving the world’s most pressing challenges. The session aims to inspire the research community to leverage HPC for achieving the SDGs, providing actionable insights for the integration of advanced computational tools in sustainable development efforts.
