Elysium - New supercomputer at Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Ruhr-Universität Bochum has launched its new HPC cluster Elysium. This means that a Tier 3 HPC supply is now also available in Bochum. The system from Megware is based on AMD Zen4 CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs.
Introduction to Julia for High Performance Computing
A three-day course on "Introduction to Julia for High Performance Computing" took place on Sept. 17 to 19, 2024. The course was a hybrid event with about 35 on-site participants and more than 50 online participants from all over Germany.
HPC.NRW becomes member of the Carpentries
The Carpentries are a global community for training courses on software and data in research.
As part of the cooperation, the HPC.NRW partners are expanding the possibility of holding Carpentries courses at locations in NRW and are actively involved in setting up the HPC Carpentry.
HPC.NRW Newsletter
Our newsletter hpc.nrw-announcements provides you with regular information about course offers and other activities of HPC.NRW. (approx. 1 - 3 messages per month)
RDM and HPC - Challange or Chance?
The consortium "AG-FDM" within the HPC.nrw-project organizes a regular online-seminar discussing research data management (RDM) strategies in the context of high-performance-computing (HPC). The series will cover specific RDM-solutions for the various scientific disciplines with topics generated through the interest of the participants.
AI from Laptop to Supercomputer
HPC.NRW organises a weekly AI consultation hour together with the NHR and GCS. The consultation hour is aimed at anyone interested in using AI methods, whether on their laptop or large supercomputers.
HPC Consultation Hour
Support is highly valued! As part of the HPC support, the HPC group of the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University offers support and answers questions in a question and answer format around topics such as cluster usage, parallel programming or the use for computing time on larger systems (Tier 2 and 1). Interested? The next session will be held on 17/10/24 at 2pm
HPC.NRW on YouTube
HPC.NRW is now also represented with its own channel on YouTube. Here you will find videos on current developments and events, as well as tutorials and workshops on current topics.
The North Rhine-Westphalian Competence Network for High Performance Computing HPC.NRW
The North Rhine-Westphalian Competence Network for High Performance Computing (HPC.NRW) is a competent and thematically broad contact point for users of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems in NRW.
HPC.NRW supports researchers, administrators and institutes in the field of high-performance computing. The competence network creates the personnel and organisational prerequisites for combining the expertise of the large HPC centres (so-called Level 2, or Tier 2) with the consulting services of smaller centres (Level 3, or Tier 3).
The competence network provides basic services for locations without level 3 centres and universities of applied sciences. For level 2 centres, a uniform, structured access for HPC users at all universities in NRW has been established. This promotes research and supports scientists.
For administrators
We offer the opportunity to exchange ideas with other administrators and are happy to offer advise.
The HPC adminday is a regular meeting of HPC admins from NRW where technical and organisational issues can be discussed in detail.
The HPC Wiki is a valuable online resource for HPC users, developers and administrators alike.
Support
We are happy to help researchers, administrators and institutes by providing an overview of access options and advice on the efficient use of HPC resources.
