Welcome to the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU). Our interdisciplinary team

Our fields of expertise and research include

  • node-level performance engineering for CPUs and GPUs,
  • hardware-efficient and scalable building blocks for sparse solvers, and
  • atomistic simulations in chemistry, life sciences, and materials science.

We are part of the German NHR Alliance and closely collaborate with the RRZE.

The NHR Alliance offers PhD scholarships at each of its nine centers. A scholarship runs for three years. If you have a master's degree in computer science, mathematics, the natural or engineering sciences, or an equivalent degree and are interested in High Performance Computing, this fellowship pro...
