The year 2021 is again characterized by progress in research.
High-performance computers such as the Cluster Aix-la-Chapelle (CLAIX) help to understand global issues and solve problems that challenge science. Find out which interesting projects were running on CLAIX in 2021 and which solutions were found for which problems in the CLAIX Annual Report 2021.

MPI Runtime Correctness Analysis
High performance computing (HPC) is largely concerned with parallelizing programs, especially complex simulations such as models for weather forecasting or climate. To ensure that computations finish quickly, the work to be done is divided among different processes in parallel. Depending on the use case, the processes must exchange their intermediate results with other processes at program runtime.
The IT Center Picture Puzzle: Service & Communication Department
#MeetMeWednesday: We continue with our series “The IT Center Picture Puzzle“. This time we have an exciting interview with the head of department Sarah Grzemski in store for you.
The word “communication” is synonymous with the Service & Communication (SeKo) department. The reason for this will be presented to you in the current blog post. We provide exciting insights behind the various scenes of the department, which, by the way, do not only consist of support requests 😊 …. We present what makes the department special and what current projects and developments are currently in the pipeline. Be curious!
The IT Center Picture Puzzle: High Performance Computing (HPC) Office
MeetMeWednesday: Our series “The IT Center Picture Puzzle” has already gone into the fourth round. Could you guess which word we were looking for this time?
The required word “coordination” stands for the High Performance Computing (HPC) Office. Did you guess it? In this blog post, we present the corresponding interview with the HPC Office, in which you can learn more about the activities and exciting insights of the Office.
The IT Center Picture Puzzle: Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) Department
#MeetMeWednesday: Our series “The IT Center Picture Puzzle” went into the third round and we were again looking for a word on our social media channels that stands for a department of the IT Center.
We were looking for five letters and the word “Lehre” (teaching) – did you guess it? In this blog post, we present not only the solution word, but also the corresponding interview with the Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) department. In this interview, you will learn more about the fields of activity and gain exciting insights into the diverse department of the IT Center.
Well represented: IT Center at ISC22
For two years the ISC High Performance conference could not take place as usual. Now it is back in a hybrid form and with top-class guests in lectures, tutorials and workshops that move the industry. From May 29 to June 2, ISC High Performance will take place in Hamburg. Following the motto Transforming the future, the international conference for High Performance Computing (HPC) focuses on the most important developments and trends in the fields of HPC, machine learning and high-performance data analysis.
#ITCenterEvents Parallel Programming in Computational Engineering and Science 2022
The PPCES 2022 is about to start!
Again this year, the one-week (March 21-25, 2022) HPC seminar will take place at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University to train you on the latest developments around parallel programming on the RWTH high performance computer.
Registration deadline is already March 18 – be there! Read the rest of this entry »
Award received – SPEC Contributor Award
The SPEC activities of the RWTH
In October 2021, the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) released the new SPEChpc™ 2021 (application-oriented) benchmark suites. SPEC was formed in 1988 to establish industry standards for measuring computer performance. Since then, SPEC has become the largest and most influential benchmark consortium in the world.
