High Performance Computing (HPC) at RWTH Aachen University acts as a central building block to support the simulation sciences by enabling the development of scalable algorithms and software. Of central importance for innovation in business and society, RWTH High Performance Computing offers various services and research opportunities based on a first-class infrastructure. This means that HPC applications can be executed efficiently and in a scalable manner and large amounts of data can be processed securely and quickly.

Implementation is supported by projects such as JARA, HPC.NRW and, in particular, the National High Performance Computing Center for Computational Engineering Science (NHR4CES). You can read more under the category HPCnews on our blog.

Alongside theory and experiment, computer-aided simulations are described as the third pillar of science. It is therefore of great importance for technical universities such as RWTH Aachen University to continuously expand their capacities in the field of high-performance computing and to further develop their capabilities. We are therefore delighted that the full installation of the new Aix-la-Chapelle cluster (CLAIX) has been completed! Under the label CLAIX-2023, the new high-performance computer not only offers powerful Intel Xeon 8468 Sapphire Rapids CPUs with a total of 96 cores per computing node for a significant increase in performance. In addition, it has 52 special servers for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, each with four NVIDIA H100 GPUs, which enables an impressive total performance of over 14 PFLOPS in the ML segment alone.
