High Performance Computing, or HPC for short, refers to technologies and processes that perform complex computing tasks with high performance. High performance computing involves parallelizing tasks and combining the computing power of multiple systems. HPC is a key technology for our society and for RWTH Aachen University. Typical areas of application are science and research, simulation technology or business intelligence. The size and amount of data that companies work with is growing exponentially and the need to process data in real time is essential for certain purposes.

On 23rd May 2000 the Nachrichtentechnische Zentrale (NTZ) of the Zentrale Hochschulverwaltung and the Data center merged to the Computing and Communication Center of the RWTH Aachen University. Since then, the current IT Center (formerly the Computing and Communication Center) has been responsible not only for the data network and the services based on it, but also for the telecommunication infrastructure of the RWTH Aachen University, from the network and its connections to the terminal equipment.
Until now, so-called telecommunication applications (TK-applications for short) had to submit analog the application of connections and/or telephones or their relocation. These TK-applications had to be submit by filling out a form, signing it, stamping it, and sending it to the IT-ServiceDesk by internal mail, fax, or scanned by e-mail. Employees then transferred the given data to our system.
As part of the network renewal at RWTH Aachen University, among other things analog telephone connections converted to IP connections. These telephone connections are coupled to the broadband. This change also involves a change of the telephones to pure VoIP (Voice over IP) devices.
