Information

Digital twins are revolutionizing industry, transforming science, global policy, climate change, and healthcare. This workshop first surveys digital twins in HPC environments across science and industry, then dives into a focused look at digital twins for HPC data centers. Evolving from basic 3D models to highly accurate replicas, digital twins serve as reliable data sources for decision making, ranging from subatomic to cosmic scales. Applications in computational biomedicine, energy, and automation hint at future roles in quantum computing. This workshop seeks to foster a digital twin community of practice in HPC, highlighting the potential to drive breakthroughs and inform critical policy decisions. Focusing on HPC infrastructure, digital twins are transforming data centers, providing precise virtual models for enhanced efficiency. These models enable exploration of "what-if" analyses and complex behaviors across disciplines. The last part of the workshop seeks to address power and cooling efficiency, network behavior, and AR/VR applications, aiming to advance energy-efficient, sustainable computing solutions for next-generation infrastructures.
