THAT DRIVES IMPACT
As a member of the ASCS, you have access to secure,
state-of-the-art HPC resources of the High-Performance
Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS). As a central unit of the
University of Stuttgart, HLRS is home to Hunter, one of
Germany’s fastest supercomputers. With a theoretical
peak performance of 48.1 PFlop/s, Hunter is based on the
HPE Cray EX4000 platform from Hewlett Packard Enterprise
and is outfitted with AMD Instinct MI300A accelerated
processing units (APU), which combine CPUs, GPUs, and
high-bandwidth memory in a single package. The system
supports large-scale, computationally demanding crash
or aerodynamics simulations, as well as deep learning,
artificial intelligence, and data analytics applications.
HLRS also operates other high-performance computing
systems based on CPU, GPU, and vector computing components.
Through a special cooperation, ASCS is able to provide its
members each year with high-performance computing
(HPC) resources worth 100,000 Euros at the HLRS for
pre-competitive research projects. This enables, for example, the rapid implementation of speedboat projects.
In addition, the computing budget can be extended through
funded research projects supported by German federal
ministries. This gives members the opportunity to further
scale their simulation and development capacities.
To ensure optimal use of these resources, ASCS accompanies
and supports its members throughout the entire process –
from initial onboarding to the successful execution of their
projects.
