Nationwide HPC systems

In line with the principles set out in the state-level concept (Landeskonzept), the hpcCluster.nrw is being developed to consolidate Tier-3 HPC resources in North Rhine-Westphalia at four central locations, thereby making optimal use of synergies and economies of scale. One location will host the general hpcBasisCluster.nrw, while three additional sites will accommodate thematically specialized hpcFachCluster.nrw.

Universities and universities of applied sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia had the opportunity to acquire usage rights in advance. In the following, the respective institutions are referred to as authorized user sites.
