Torsten Wilde received his M.Sc. degree in “Parallel and Scientific computation” from the University of Liverpool, UK, in 2000, and a Dipl.-Ing. (FH) in “Technische Informatik” from the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, Germany. He is currently working as a research manager at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Germany. He is responsible for LRZ’s research activities on energy efficient HPC data center design and operation. In this role, Torsten is working on methods of improving energy efficiency across the whole data center, ranging from data center infrastructure to application scheduling. He is also on the leadership team of the EE HPC WG, currently serving as the Workshop and Conferences Co-Chair, and was the work package lead for the energy efficient HPC prototyping efforts during the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) 1st and 2nd implementation phase projects. Currently, he is the PI for the SIMOPEK project (www.simopek.de) which aims to model, simulate, and optimize the chiller-less cooling infrastructure of the LRZ data center.
