HPC Cluster

Financed by national and state funds a comprehensive high performance computing (HPC) cluster and data facility infrastructure is provided to Baden-Württemberg's scientists.

These resources are differentiated by scientific areas and application's requirements and scalability. Users' resource requests are therefore assigned accordingly.
