The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) Conference, co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), was held from 16 to 18 June 2025, at the FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch, in Switzerland.
The conference focused on exploring how supercomputing can be utilised to help address the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which underpin the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN member states in 2015. Examples of how supercomputing is already being used in this regard include its application to:
- Renewable energy
- Drug discovery
- Medical device design
- Climate modelling
- Ocean modelling
- Nuclear fusion
- Desalination
The conference also placed an emphasis on best practices around reproducibility, and encourage participants to demonstrate that their results are reproducible.
