A team led by scientists Prof. Thomas D. Kühne and Prof. Christian Plessl at Paderborn University has broken the exascale barrier for mixed-precision computation for a computational science application and has achieved 1.1 EFLOP/s application-level performance in the quantum chemistry application CP2K on the NERSC Perlmutter system.

Vom 28. bis 29. April 2022 findet am Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) der Universität Paderborn die Frühjahrstagung 2022 des ZKI Arbeitskreises Supercomputing statt. Die Teilnehmer erwarten interessante Fachvorträge und Arbeitskreise zum aktuellen Stand und zur Weiterentwicklung des Hochleistungsrechnens in Deutschland.
Under the title "The Strong Scaling Advantage of FPGAs in HPC for N-Body Simulations", our recent results on the scalability of N-Body simulations have been published in the ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (TRETS) and are available as open access article. The work will be presented and discussed at the International Conference of Field-Programmable Technology FPT'21 in a virtual format in the night from 9 to 10 December…
The Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb Nordrhein-Westfalen (BLB NRW) has completed and handed over the new high-performance computing center for Paderborn University. Now the installation of the second stage of the supercomputer Noctua, one of the fastest computers in Germany, can be started by the university.

Anja Karliczek: “This is key for guaranteeing the quality of German university research, and for setting Germany up as a future-proof location for research and innovation”
The Second International Workshop on High-Performance Business Computing (HPBC) was held digitally (due to COVID-19 pandemic) on June 25, 2021. The workshop was technically hosted by the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) of Paderborn University.
The primary objective of the workshop was the discussion of the design, implementation, computational evaluation, and application of parallel algorithms in modern high-performance computing…
140,000 processing cores, the very latest generation of high-tech features, and compact enough to fit inside a squash court – Paderborn University is getting a new supercomputer. “Noctua 2,” the project name given to the second expansion stage of the “Noctua” installed in 2018, will be built by market leader Atos and is expected to be installed by the end of the year.
The international IT symposium “Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies” (HEART) will be held online this year, from June 21 to 23. The forum will explore the latest research findings on computer systems and methods in the context of hardware-accelerated high-performance computing (HPC). This time Paderborn is hosting the conference following Toronto and Nagasaki in previous years. The focus is on how to achieve the best…
