Systems & Services

We as NHR@FAU operate all central HPC production systems of FAU as well as the NHR-Tier2 systems. Together with our customers we select and procure new systems regularly.

We are also the main point of service for scientists at the university and beyond with a demand for compute resources larger than what their local institutes can deliver. Our experts can help with code porting and portability issues, parallelization, optimization, and data management.

If a user’s demand outgrows even the capacity of the local clusters, we can help formulate proposals for the federal computing centers at Garching, Stuttgart, and Jülich or other NHR centers.
