On 17.03.2020, the SCC will commission a new parallel computer system called "bwUniCluster 2.0+GFB-HPC" as a state service within the framework of the Baden-Württemberg Implementation Concept for High Performance Computing (bwHPC External Link) External Link. The bwUniCluster 2.0 replaces the predecessor system bwUniCluster and also includes the compute nodes which were procured as an extension to the bwUniCluster in November 2016.

The modern, advanced HPC system consists of more than 840 SMP nodes with 64-bit Xeon processors from Intel. It provides the universities of the state of Baden-Württemberg with basic computing power and can be used free of charge by the staff of all universities in Baden-Württemberg. Users who currently have access to bwUniCluster 1 will automatically also have access to bwUniCluster 2.0. There is no need to apply for new entitlements or to re-register.

More information on the new system will be added soon.
