Computing cluster enhanced with 12 additional nodes

6 Dezember 2021

Our computing cluster, operated by the Data Science & Computing Lab (DSC Lab) at the Institute for Mathematics and Computer-Based Simulation, has been equipped with more computing power. With funding of the dtec.bw project RISK.twin, 12 additional compute nodes (Intel Xeon Cascadelake, 2x26 cores, AVX512) with a total of 624 cores have been integrated into the existing system. With its total capacity of 1312 cores, our cluster will advance research in multi-physics modeling, high performance computing, and data science. This will enable key contributions to several research projects at IMCS, among them the two dtec.bw projects RISK.twin and HPC.bw.

In the past, a series of papers has heavily leveraged this cluster, e.g., to develop a multigrid strategy for contact problems and for numerical experiments with non-invasive multigrid methods. We are now looking forward to advance our simulation and computing capabilities not only in the area of PDE-based simulation, but also for data-driven applications as targeted in RISK.twin.
