Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network ma

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

As part of the lecture series on computer science and sustainability, the first lecture will take place on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 4:15 pm.

There will be another lecture series on computer science and sustainability in the summer semester.

The first lecture will take place on Wednesday, 14.5.2025, 16:15, in room E.003 in Otto-Hahn-Str. 12.

Sebastian Peitz: GreenHPC: Energy-efficient supercomputer networks through the use of wind energy

Abstract:
The realization of ecologically and economically sustainable data centers (especially in the field of High-Performance Computing, HPC) is one of the central challenges for the future-oriented supply of our digital society. In order to avoid a further sharp increase in energy demand, an infrastructure is required that scales dynamically with the computing load in line with energy requirements. In many branches of industry, high energy and emissions saving potentials are already being leveraged through sector coupling. In the data center sector, however, this has so far only been the case to a limited extent. In the lecture, the project "Energy-optimized supercomputer networks through the use of wind energy" will be presented, which aims to set up data centers decentrally and directly in wind turbines. This offers numerous advantages, such as the direct use of locally generated electricity, but also requires addressing various new challenges such as the dynamic execution of computing jobs. We will first explain the concept and then go into detail about the advantages and challenges, as well as corresponding solutions.

The lecture series can be credited with 1 CP as part of the studium oecologicum.
