High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart

Public Sector: Participate in a Collaborative Research Project

As a research organization affiliated with the University of Stuttgart, the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart partners with academic and public sector organizations in numerous research projects. Funded through grants at the EU, national, and state levels, these research projects support the testing and development of new applications and solutions using high-performance computing. Funded research projects can take a variety of forms:

  • HLRS and a limited number of partners focus on solving a specific problem.
  • A project seeks additional collaborators to gain knowledge or test concepts.
  • A project offers start-up funding to third-party organizations seeking to develop a new application.
  • Partners approach HLRS for access to HPC infrastructure needed to realize their own projects.

As coordinator of EuroCC 2, a European network of national competence centers for high-performance computing, HLRS can also connect public agencies with consulting services and support needed to program and operate high-performance computing systems.

The following are some current and past funded research projects in which HLRS has collaborated with organizations in the public sector. We welcome inquiries from public sector agencies interested in developing new funded research projects.
