bwHPC represents services and resources in the State of '''B'''aden-'''W'''ürttemberg, Germany, for High Performance Computing ('''HPC'''), Data Intensive Computing ('''DIC''') and Large Scale Scientific Data Management ('''LS2DM''').

The main bwHPC web page is at '''[https://www.bwhpc.de/ https://www.bwhpc.de/]'''.

Many topics depend on the cluster system you use. 
First choose the cluster you use,  then select the correct topic.
