As a German national supercomputing center, HLRS offers world-class high-performance computing systems and expertise that can support the most computationally demanding simulation projects. Our HPC resources enable scientists to conduct research at the frontiers of science, private companies to develop globally competitive products, and public administration to make data-informed decisions.
Beginning in early 2025, this next-generation, APU-accelerated supercomputer will offer increased performance for large-scale, state-of-the-art applications of simulation, AI, and data analytics.
Hawk is optimized to support large-scale simulations and new kinds of hybrid workflows combining high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.
This standard PC cluster is continually adapted to meet increasing demands and provide requirement-optimized solutions, including CPU, GPU, and vector computing components.
HLRS's high-performance storage system is designed to safely manage and archive petabytes of data generated by large-scale simulation projects.
Programming high-performance computing systems requires special expertise. HLRS's comprehensive HPC training and user support programs help our system users to use them more effectively.
Taught by experienced HPC professionals, our courses can help you develop the skills to program highly parallel computing clusters like Hawk confidently and effectively.
Our staff works closely with new and experienced system users to optimize their codes and enable new applications of HPC.
