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.
