RWTH Becomes Part of the National High Performance Computing Network
So what? NHR – what is that anyway?
NHR – that stands for “National High Performance Computing” and is a project of the Joint Science Conference (Gemeinsamen Wissenschaftskonferenz (GWK)). With the help of this project, researchers throughout Germany are to be guaranteed access to the computing capacity they need for their research. “High-performance computing” describes computer-based computing that requires high computing power or storage capacity. This is becoming increasingly important in research and teaching. Nowadays, the use of and access to high-performance computers is indispensable for many research fields.
For this reason, the state and federal governments have agreed in the Gemeinsamen Wissenschaftskonferenz (GWK) to jointly promote not only research buildings and large-scale facilities but also high-performance computing at universities. This is meant to strengthen the international competitiveness of Germany as a research location in the fields of simulation and big data, among others. The aim is to create a nationally coordinated network of high-performance computing centers. This network offers all German universities appropriate resources and services for national high-performance computing.
