Solutions for the Public Sector

Image f. Solutions for the Public Sector

If you are a public sector agency facing challenges concerning health, safety, and sustainability in your community, HLRS may be able to help. As a research institute affiliated with the University of Stuttgart, we develop solutions that use simulation, artificial intelligence, and visualization in ways that can help improve air quality, manage urban growth, make energy systems more sustainabile, or prepare for natural disasters like floods or wildfires, to take just a few examples. High-performance computing makes it possible to test scenarios, analyze large data sets, and realistically visualize complex systems in ways that make them easier to understand. Such approaches can be used to predict how interventions could affect communities and to develop better data-informed policies. 


Do you face a challenge that HPC could help solve?
