Digital information and communication technologies are an essential part of our everyday lives. They are everywhere we go and help us in many different domains. Especially at universities, these technologies play an important role and support studies, teaching and research.
The cooperation project “Prüfung hoch III”

To mark its 100th anniversary, the Stifterverband for German science, or Stifterverband for short, has launched the anniversary initiative “Effect to the power of 100“. The aim is to promote the 100 best ideas for the education, science and innovation system of tomorrow.
After the application phase had been completed in mid-September 2020, an expert advisory board selected the 100 best ideas (from a total of 500 applications) for the future of the education, science and innovation system. And the IT Center was among them – we reported on it in detail here on the blog.
Ever since then, a while has passed and synergies have emerged with different perspectives on the common theme, allowing for a holistic view of digital testing. Read the rest of this entry »
Coscine – The new integration platform for research data

Coscine is a platform of the IT Center that supports researchers in working with their research data. Coscine stands for Collaborative Scientific Integration Environment. The pilot phase with the first users has started and will be used for user-oriented further development of the platform.
We are very pleased to be able to briefly introduce the platform to you. Have fun reading! Read the rest of this entry »
POP Audit: Successful Performance Optimisation and Correctness Analysis for CalculiX

The development of new applications is becoming increasingly complex. Simultaneously, optimising these applications is gaining in importance. The Institute for High Performance Computing at RWTH Aachen University is conducting research on methods and tools for the optimisation of applications. In this process, performance and correctness analyses play a central role. These methods and tools are being applied within the framework of the EU project POP2 – Performance Optimisation and Productivity. The POP project was already introduced in a separate article. Today we would like to inform about a specific successful POP audit.
Research on heterogeneous memory systems

While computational power is steadily increasing in modern computing systems due to the rise of multicore and accelerated systems, the relative performance of the memory subsystem is falling further and further behind. In the context of High-Performance Computing (HPC), this can be partially compensated by combining traditional main memory with a small amount of high-bandwidth memory. In systems with accelerators, heterogeneity is already visible due to the presence of different kinds of memory. However, applications must be heavily modified and use vendor-specific application programming interfaces (APIs) to exploit different kind ofs heterogeneous memory.

This is the name of a song or a phrase that indicates that changes are coming in May. This is also the case at Microsoft!
The university framework agreement with Microsoft is being updated and will come into force on May 1, 2021. This will change the previous licensing models for Microsoft products to new licenses.
