The group Scientific Computing conducts research and development on high performance storage systems. We develop HPC concepts and apply them to simulation software with a focus on earth system models.

The group offers products for research and teaching, and contributes to third-party projects.

• 2019-07-03: Our project for a Coupled Storage System for Efficient Management of Self-Describing Data Formats has been granted funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and will start soon!
• 2019-03-20: There are currently two open positions within the Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter that will be co-supervised by members of our team: “A multi-purpose framework for efficient parallelized execution of charged particle tracking” and “Workflows for reproducible computational science and data science”
• 2019-03-20: Preparations for the ISC-HPCAIAC Student Cluster Competition 2019 are in full swing. This year, we could secure sponsorship from NEC and the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing. News will be provided on Twitter.
• 2018-11-19: Our team has been accepted to participate in the ISC-HPCAIAC Student Cluster Competition 2019! You can also follow our team on Twitter.
• 2018-11-09: Dr. Raul Torres has defended his thesis successfully. Congratulations!
