The EE HPC WG
Operational Data Analytics Community
(HPC ODA)
Cannot improve if we cannot measure!
The Operational Data Analytics (ODA) Community brings together system administrators, researchers, data scientists, and HPC professionals from around the world who share a common goal: transforming how we understand, monitor, and optimize high-performance computing environments. Whether you’re just beginning your journey with operational data or you’re a seasoned expert looking to share insights, our community provides a collaborative space to learn, innovate, and advance the field together.
As HPC systems grow increasingly complex and critical to scientific discovery, the need for sophisticated operational insights has never been greater. Our community recognizes that effective data analytics isn’t just about collecting metrics—it’s about building sustainable practices, sharing hard-won knowledge, and creating tools that benefit the entire HPC ecosystem. Through open collaboration and shared expertise, we’re working to establish best practices that will shape the future of HPC operations worldwide.
