There will be a scheduled downtime of all the HPC systems of NHR@FAU starting Tuesday, August 13 at 12:00 p.m. and lasting until Thursday, August 15 at 12:00 p.m. There will be work on most of the fileservers, thus the cluster frontends and /home/* will be unavailable most of the time. UPD...

The first patch for the newest GROMACS version 2024 was released end of February. Recently, several new GPGPUs were added to the test cluster at NHR@FAU. As we benchmarked our usual set of six simulation systems, we decided to write a follow-up on our GROMACS benchmark posts (Multi-GPU GROMACS Jobs ...

The 21st NHR Newsletter is now available. In the August issue of our bulletin, we once again talk about the latest interesting events and results at the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center. Our current topics include: Course program • AI from laptop to supercomputer web seminar...

Since recently, a fast communication link connects the Erlangen Regional Computing Center (RRZE) with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) on the research campus in Garching near Munich. This high-performance network can transmit 100 gigabits per second in each direction and ensures increased rel...

In our latest video, we sit down with Dr. Andreas Buchheit from Saarland University, who shares his fascinating journey into the world of unconventional superconducting materials. Using the power of NHR@FAU resources, Dr. Buchheit and his team achieved noteworthy research success. The topic of su...

We decommissioned our old dialog server cshpc.rrze.fau.de at the end of July. The new server that replaces it, csnhr.nhr.fau.de, has been available for some time now. If you have not switched over to the new server yet, now would be a good time to do so. To this end, you'll mostly have to replace al...

We welcome Jean-Yves Verhaeghe to the group! He is the first student from the EUMaster4HPC program to do his master thesis at NHR@FAU. The HPC European Consortium Leading Education Activities (EUMaster4HPC) aims to develop a new and innovative European Master program focusing on high performance ...
