Service description
High Performance Computing (HPC)
The “High Performance Computing” service offers researchers at Leipzig University and their cooperation partners competent and problem-related advice for the implementation of complex scientific calculations that exceed local computing capacities. As part of the service, users are supported in carrying out complex scientific calculations (e.g. scientific simulations on protein folding, machine learning methods).
Our service for you
The service offers users:
- Initial consultation and user documentation to assist in the introduction of High Performance Computing.
- Use of a shared HPC infrastructure
- User access from the network of Leipzig University
- Access to scratch memory (for storing input and output values as well as intermediate results)
- Access to GPUs (max. 8)
- access to an extensive software environment (including Intel Compiler Suite, MatLab, Gaussian, RosettaNet, Tensor-Flow, Jupyter-Lab)

Delimitation
In contrast to high and super high performance computing centres, the High Performance Computing (HPC) service does not have a science-led application process. The organisational and technical barriers to entry should be kept as low as possible for users.
The service does not provide
- 24/7 availability of all resources
- Backup of data (all data on the HPC systems is assessed as “scratch”)
- Application support (can currently only be provided on a best-effort basis)
