Today at about 10:45 a.m., a large-area power outage in Erlangen has brought all our clusters down. All running jobs have been terminated. Some frontends have been switched off manually to lower the load on the uninterruptible power supply infrastructure. We are working to get the systems running...

The last HPC Café in 2024 will take place on December 17, at 4:00 p.m. as a hybrid event. Again, we invite you to an exchange with your favorite HPC group and an interesting talk featuring Christmas goodies and coffee. The event starts at 4:00 p.m. with an open coffee chat, and at 4:30 p.m., we w...

“HPC creates” was the motto of this year's Supercomputing Conference (SC24), which took place in Atlanta, Georgia from November 17 to 22.

The 64th Top500 list was released today at the SC24 Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. It ranks the 500 fastest supercomputers in the world according to the "High Performance LINPACK" benchmark, which solves a large, dense system of linear equations. We are thrilled to announce that the first part o...

We are presenting a milestone for German-language large language models: At the University of Würzburg (JMU) the first all-German large-scale language model has been created and trained at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS) with resources support provided by the NHR@FAU...

The Team "SubmitSomething," consisting of FAU PhD student Johanna Müller from the IDEA Lab at AIBE and PhD student Matthew Baugh from Imperial College London, won several awards at the #MICCAI 2024 conference in Marakesh—and we are glad that we were able to support them in their success with our com...

We congratulate Arijana Bohr and Emmanuelle Salin from the “Center for AI in Medicine” on second place in the international digital pathology competition "DigiLut." Our HPC support team and GPU systems at NHR@FAU were instrumental for this significant achievement. The two-month DigiLut challenge,...

Our file server atuin was slowed down due to high load starting around October 9 13:00. Unfortunately, this currently affects all users on all clusters and frontends; normal work is all but impossible at times. We are working on resolving the situation and apologize for any inconvenience. &nbs...
