NHR@FAU Results Symposium on March 16

Attendees of the Results Symposium on 16 March

On March 16, 2023, NHR@FAU hosts its first in-person “Results Symposium.”

In its first two years of operation, NHR@FAU has invested over 10 million € in HPC systems and the associated infrastructure. The required funds came from a large-scale equipment application to the German Research Foundation (DFG), NHR funding from the federal and local state governments, but also reinforcement funds from the Bavarian Ministry of Science, Research and Art (StMWK) and FAU itself.

The aim of the symposium is to prove that these funds were put to good use. Research groups who used a significant amount of CPU and GPU resources over the last twelve months will present results that were obtained on NHR@FAU systems.

Location

Neues Chemikum, Lecture Hall C1, Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Straße 10

Date and Time
