Coscine – The new integration platform for research data
Source: Own illustration
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.
Archive Migration – the Big Move of Archived Data

The Archive service enables RWTH employees to store data on a tape robot system for the long term. Archiving data in this way is primarily used to store data that, once stored, should also be stored in this form for the long term.
In the past, data inventories were stored here, primarily documenting measurement results, completed projects or project briefs. With the changes in the funding landscape, which among other things also rethink and demand the keeping of research data, the Archive service is also being rethought. This is partly because the current inventory system will be decommissioned in the summer of 2022 and partly because there is a need to hold data in a structured way in the future. So it’s time for a changeover.
5G at the ZKI Spring Conference 2021: IT Connects – Innovation & Operation
On the occasion of the ZKI Spring Conference 2021 (German only), which was hosted by the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University, Sven Jung from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) spoke on the topic:
5G-Industry Campus Europe – Opportunities and challenges of the new mobile communications standard for research.
Exciting presentation of Sven Jung on the topic 5G!
