About PC²

The Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing, PC², is an interdisciplinary institute of the University of Paderborn, Germany. We are specialized in distributed and parallel computing for research, development and practical applications and for the investigation of new fields for our partners and ourselves. Practical work has been done in a number of different areas shown in our projects page.

Our parallel computers are amongst the most powerful of their type. They enable us to study practical applications in a high performance computing environment. Among our computing facilities are some high performance computer systems, and some minor machines. These systems can be accessed conveniently via the X-WiN network.

Within the supporting groups, theoretical work is done to develop methods and principles for the construction and efficient use of distributed and parallel computer systems.
