Review: ISC High Performance 2022
That’s a wrap: From May 29 to June 2, 2022, the ISC High Performance Computing conference took place in Hamburg. An event we were looking forward to for various reasons. This ISC was the first one in which we as NHR4CES participated on site. It was an important step to show presence, meet the community and give further visibility to our center and the infrastructure, services and opportunities that NHR4CES offers.

NHR4CES Sofa Talks
At the ISC High Performance Conference 2022 we are establishing the so called Sofa Talks at our joint booth of JARA-CSD and NHR4CES (booth number J905). The aim is to discuss topics of interest to the community in a rather untypical, quiet and small setting.

NHR4CES Community Workshop
We are happy to invite you to our first community workshop. During this two-day online event, participants have the opportunity to learn about the importance of High-Performance Computing (HPC) in various fields of Computational Engineering Science.

Well represented: NHR4CES at ISC High Performance 2022
For two years the ISC High Performance Conference could not take place as usual. Now it is back in a hybrid form and with top-class guests in lectures, tutorials and workshops that move the industry. From May 29 to June 2, Supercomputing Conference (ISC) will take place in Hamburg. Following the motto Transforming the future, the international conference for High Performance Computing (HPC) focuses on the most important developments and trends in the fields of HPC, machine learning and high-performance data analysis.

HPC CLAIX Projects Annual Report 2020
High Performance Computing at its best! The HPC CLAIX Projects Annual Report 2020 is online and once again presents exciting research projects. Interested in top research from different topics? Take a look at what was going on at the High Performance Computer Cluster Aix-la-Chapelle (CLAIX) at RWTH Aachen University last year.

Founding of the Verein für nationales Hochleistungsrechnen
New benchmark achieved: With the founding of the Verein für nationales Hochleistungsrechnen – NHR-Verein e.V. (Association for National High Performance Computing) on August 23, 2021, eight computer centers of universities or university alliances funded by the federal and state governments are joining forces. The structures created in this way will enable successful coordination of computing capacities to provide researchers with the best possible foundation. In the future, the NHR association will enable researchers to use modern high performance computing infrastructures nationwide and independent of location.

RWTH becomes part of the National High Performance Computing Alliance
Together with the TU Darmstadt, RWTH Aachen is included in an alliance that creates better conditions for all scientists at German universities. Under the new funding concept, the federal and state governments will no longer only cover investment costs, but also operating and personnel costs. For this purpose, 62.5 million euros will be available annually for the entire NHR alliance.

TU Darmstadt as part of the National High Performance Computing Alliance
TU Darmstadt will be part of the NHR consortium funded by the German federal and state governments. At its meeting on November 13, 2020, the Joint Science Conference (GWK) decided to include TU Darmstadt in the consortium together with RWTH Aachen University.
