Knowledge Base Wiki of Baden-Württemberg's HPC services

Welcome to the Knowledge Base Wiki of services and projects for high performance computing (HPC) and HPC data storage in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Hosted as a Best Practices Repository, the knowledge base contains user guides and best practice guides (BPG) and is maintained by members of Baden-Württemberg's federated HPC competence centers for clusters of tier 3 as well as by members of the HPC competence center for the ForHLR (tier 2).

Federated HPC competence centers of tier 3 are an integral part of the project bwHPC-C5 which coordinates the federated user and science support for the HPC infrastructure of tier 3 in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

HPC Services The federated HPC competence centers of tier 3 provide and maintain user guides and best practice guides for the compute clusters of tier 3: bwUniCluster bwForClusters (scheduled for 2014/2015) accessible via the Best Practices Repository. Furthermore, the KIT provide and maintain user guides and best practice guides for the compute cluster of tier 2: ForHLR
