Four Strategies Towards Sustainable Computing

Rescale is advancing sustainable computing by serving engineering-driven companies with High Performance Computing (HPC) to develop innovative projects like electric aerial transport and nuclear fusion reactors while addressing the industry's significant carbon footprint. The company emphasizes that data centers, which contribute to 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions, need to become more sustainable, particularly as computing demand rises. Rescale's Sustainable Computing Initiative aims to enhance hardware utilization, optimize workload performance, reduce power consumption with modern architectures, and power computing with sustainable energy. They collaborate with partners like Responsible Compute to implement new infrastructure, such as the "Basalt" core type based on Intel's 'Ice Lake' architecture, which operates in Iceland using clean hydroelectric power. Rescale's commitment aligns with global trends towards transparency and net-zero commitments, underscoring their role in balancing innovation and sustainability in computing.
