Universität Hamburg

As North Germany's largest research and educational institution and Germany's third-largest University, Universität Hamburg combines diverse study opportunities with excellent research. It provides a broad disciplinary spectrum with numerous interdisciplinary opportunities and pursues cooperation with an extensive network of top regional, national and international institutions. Universität Hamburg is devoted to long-term scholarship and science and promotes sustainability research in all schools.
As part of the Federal Excellence Initiative, Universität Hamburg received authorization in 2007 for a Center of Excellence in climate research: the KlimaCampus Hamburg is an educational center for climate research and earth systems science. Besides "Climate, Earth, Environment," further particularly successful key research areas include: Matter and the Universe, the Structure and Function of Biomolecules, Neurosciences, Multilingualism, Governance, Culture and Technology as well as Heterogeneity and Education. The group Scientific Computing of the Department Informatics conducts research on energy efficiency, high performance I/O optimizations and simulation of cluster infrastructure. The group has expertise in parallel programming and environmental modelling.
Contribution to EXA2GREEN
The Scientific Computing group of Universität Hamburg contributes to the project with its detailed knowledge about monitoring power, performance metrics and their correlations, which is of high relevance for enhanced monitoring and profiling to optimize the power consumption of scientific applications.
In EXA2GREEN, Universität Hamburg will work on a model that should be designed to estimate the power consumption per software component. Finally, the group has detailed knowledge about designing and maintaining HPC cluster environments to support the measurement and profiling of scientific applications in terms of energy and performance.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Ludwig
Exa2Green Activities / Role in the project:
  • Leader of WP1: Design of tools for power and energy analysis on HPC systems. Detailed knowledge about monitoring and performance metrics and the correlation of these measurements with the application itself. Leader of all tasks compromised in the WP, from the trace generation and visualization, to the model and adoption of software power consumption as well as the accounting power consumption.
  • Support in dissemination activities (WP7)
  • Participation in handling of IPR issues within the consortium and in the elaboration of an exploitation strategy and a technology implementation plan (WP7)
Thomas Ludwig is the leader of the WP1 at Universität Hamburg

 

Background and research/work focus:
In 2001 Thomas became Professor at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universtät Heidelberg and led the research group Parallel and Distributed Systems. Since 2009 he is a full professor at Universtät Hamburg and head of the Scientific Computing Group at the Department of Informatics. Additionally, he is CEO of the German Climate Computing Centre. His major research interests are energy efficiency and high performance storage in high performance computing. He coordinates the "eeClust" project, which is founded by the German Ministry of Education and Research with the goal to determine relationships between the behavior of parallel programs and the energy consumption of their execution on a computer cluster. Thomas Ludwig is the organizer of the annual "International Conference of Energy-Aware High Performance Computing".
