Our services are available to any researcher from a Germany university. For collaborations in our scientific and technological focus areas we also provide access to selected international researchers. Access is granted based on the submission and peer review of a project proposal that describes the planned research and computing resource demands. Smaller scale projects are evaluate on a rolling basis with short turnaround times. Larger scale projects are evaluated as part of the nation-wide joint resource allocation process by the NHR association. On a positive evaluation, access is provided free of charge.

We accompany and support our users in all phases of their computational research projects, from the submission of the computing time request, to the effective use of scientific software, the automation of workflows and the archiving of research data. Our regularly offered training program ranges from basic courses on the use of HPC systems to advanced techniques of optimization for parallel programs for software developers. In addition,  we offer comprehensive documentation, email support and regular consultation hours.

To specifically support researchers in the focus areas of our center, we offer in-depth, topic-specific workshops, summer schools and hackathons. Selected research projects are also supported by intensive support within the framework of collaborations, for example to develop improved methods together with users or to explore new technologies.

The broad application of computer-aided methods and the combination of model- and data-driven processes for modeling, simulation and analysis in scientific applications can be found in numerous departments of the university. We support these activities in teaching with our infrastructure and also contribute to the range of courses and further qualification opportunities, especially for young scientists.
