Who can profit from hpc?

From a small company that specialises in special effects for movies to big automotive companies, HPC can benefit a lot of companies who somehow need to process large amount of data or run huge calculations. For orientation, please find below a list of application examples. 

Research & Development

From prototyping to fluid dynamics, most processes in research and development can benefit from HPC to become shorter, cheaper or more efficient

Medical Field

Pharmacists, doctors and medical researchers rely on HPC to develop new vaccines, analyse medical contexts or develop new medical tools.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Self-driving vehicles, technical support or automated production lines. Heavily reliant on processing of data, HPC is an ideal solution here.

Climate and Weather

From simulations of climate change to weather predictions, HPC centres all over the world have strong connections to companies who work in this field

Engineering

Whether it's executing multi-physics simulations, optimising of vehicles or solving design processes, engineers from all fields are utilising HPC for their benefit.

What do we offer?

HPC is increasingly being used in both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce development costs through shorter simulation times, to increase product quality or to develop new types of solutions through problem-solving techniques such as high-performance data analysis and artificial intelligence. Here you will find services and competences that can be used in various forms of cooperation, from direct contracts to research projects.

Services

  • Problem solving by means of simulation or data analysis / artificial intelligence
  • Advice on choosing the right hardware architecture for the simulation or data analysis problem
  • Provision of resources on high-performance computers
  • Parallelisation and optimisation of software on the selected hardware architecture
  • Advice on setting up and operating your own cluster systems and cloud computing
  • Advice and support on applying for public funding, especially for small and medium-sized companies

Competences

  • Setup and operation of energy-efficient high-performance computers up to exascale level
  • Classical simulation methods such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element structural analysis
  • High-performance data analysis (Big Data Analytics), artificial intelligence
  • Performance analysis and optimisation of software codes on different homogeneous or heterogeneous architectures
