Research Center High Performance Computing (FZ HPC)

High Performance Computing has undoubtedly become a key technology for science, industry, and the economy over the past 10 years. New applications that benefit from effective parallelization are constantly being created. High-performance computing is a driving force in the development of new forms of medicine, in the search for renewable, and clean energy sources, in the implementation of efficient and intelligent transport systems, in climate modeling and natural disaster prediction and management, in optimizing food production as part of a more sustainable agriculture, in the development of effective security mechanisms for IT infrastructures, etc.
