HLRS Projects

Staff scientists at HLRS are involved in dozens of funded collaborative research projects, working closely with academic and industrial partners from across Europe to address key problems facing the future of high-performance computing. Many of these projects also involve applied research to address global challenges where HPC can provide new kinds of practical solutions. In addition, HLRS is leading multiple international projects focused on increasing HPC expertise across Europe.

POP3

The Performance Optimisation and Productivity Centre of Excellence in HPC provides performance optimisation and productivity services for academic and industrial codes in all domains to help in their transition to larger scales and to monitor their progress.


S+T+ARTS AIR

S+T+ARTS AIR is making supercomputing technologies and expertise available to enable innovative collaborations involving the arts, science, and technology.

Logo STARTS AIR

S+T+ARTS E(C)HO

Science, Technology and Arts form a nexus at which insightful observers have identified high potential for innovation. STARTS EC(H)O’s main objective is building towards the triple transformation and developing artist-led approaches through creative experimentation and recognising the most successful ones.

targetDART

targetDART is developing a task-based approach for highly scalable simulation software that mitigates load-imbalance on heterogenous systems through dynamic, adaptive and reactive distribution of computational load across compute resources.

TOPIO

Focusing on a large-scale, high-resolution earth system model, TOPIO is investigating read and write rates for large amounts of data on high-performance file systems, as well as approaches that use compression to reduce the amount of data without causing a significant loss of information.

WindHPC

In the first ever project to connect computers in wind parks with an HPC center, WindHPC aims to reduce energy consumption by improving efficiency in simulation codes, HPC workflows, and data management.
