HLRS Annual Report

Our 2024/25 annual report spotlights HLRS’s growing engagement with artificial intelligence, including its coordination of the „AI Factory“ HammerHAI. News highlights include articles on the beginning of operations of the Hunter supercomputer, opportunities for using high-performance computing to support the public sector, and user support in porting codes to GPUs. We interview Dr. Guy Lonsdale about the evolution of the Fortissimo projects, which promote HPC and AI uptake in SMEs, and report on applications of high-performance computing for helicopter design, cancer research, and increasing energy efficiency in water management.
