The North Rhine-Westphalia Competence Network for High Performance Computing

The North Rhine-Westphalian Competence Network for High Performance Computing (HPC.NRW) provides the administrative and organizational structures to combine the expertise of the large HPC centers (so-called level 2, or tier 2) with the local consulting services of smaller (level 3, or tier 3) centers.

It offers a competent first point of contact and central advisory hub with a broad knowledge base for HPC users in NRW. In addition, the tier 2 centers offer uniform, structured access for HPC users of all universities in NRW, ensuring basic services are provided for locations without tier 3 centers and for universities of applied sciences.

A network of thematic clusters for low-threshold training, consulting and coaching services has been created within the framework of the competence network HPC.NRW. The aim is to make effective and efficient use of high-performance computing and storage facilities and to support scientific researchers of all levels. The existing resources and services that the state has to offer are also presented in a transparent way.
