The organizations will cooperate on topics related to advanced computing technologies for engineering applications.

The High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS) and the School of Information Technologies at the Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) have launched a new formal research collaboration. Signed in Tallinn, Estonia on September 12, a five-year memorandum of agreement pledges to build on the organizations’ complementary strengths in high-performance computing, applications of simulation for automotive research and industry, global systems science, applications for climate research, and professional training. Prof. Dr. Michael Resch, director of HLRS, and Dr. Erik Puura, Vice-Rector for Entrepreneurship at TalTech signed the agreement.

The memorandum of agreement will facilitate collaborative activities including staff exchange programs, joint research projects, professional services, and continuing education programs, as well as technology transfer and collaboration with industry. HLRS and TalTech have also identified several preliminary scientific areas for collaboration, including the development of numerical algorithms for engineering applications, the application of emerging technologies for parallel programming and networking computing to models in engineering applications, and the use of immersive visualization technologies in numerical simulation for engineering challenges.

Tallinn University of Technology is the leading university for engineering and IT science and education in Estonia. With departments dedicated to computer systems, software science, health technologies, and electronics, the TalTech School of Information Technologies provides education at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels.

HLRS maintains numerous formal collaboration agreements with numerous leading centers for high-performance computing and related technologies across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Learn more.
