Core Hours and Carbon Credits: Incentivizing Sustainability in HPC

Researchers demonstrate that linking resource costs to energy consumption can reduce HPC energy use by 40%

A survey of 300+ HPC users reveals that fewer than 30% are aware of their energy consumption. This research introduces Energy-Based and Carbon-Based Accounting models that tie computing costs to environmental impact, demonstrating through real experiments and simulations that such incentives can dramatically reduce energy use while maintaining scientific productivity.
