Title: " Arctic datacenters and heat reuse: Opportunities and challenges "
Lecturer: Chief Engineer Roy Dragset, Leader at Digital Research Services, IT-department, UiT
Abstract:
Establishing datacenters in the arctic climate gives huge opportunities for cost savings due to the need for heating buildings almost year round, but there are practical issues that needs to be overcome. The talk will present UiT’s take on this problem when establishing the next national supercomputer that will enter production in the spring of 2017.
Roy Dragseth is heading the Digital Research Services at the IT-department and has been working with high performance computing for almost 20 years.
