This department is advancing the convergence of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, in particular with the goal of supporting hybrid HPC/AI workflows on a single infrastructure. This includes developing AI solutions, specifically in a business context, using cutting-edge technologies for big data, machine learning, and deep learning. The group also conducts research on related virtualization technologies such as containers, orchestration, and job scheduling. Leveraging synergies between virtualization and HPC, it has gained expertise in the development and operation of dynamic and scalable cloud computing services. The group efficiently applies performance and availability monitoring, elastic workflow management, and energy-efficient operation for federated cloud environments.
