This autumn school introduces first-principles electronic-structure calculations. Lectures provide theoretical background on methods and materials. Practical experience will be gathered during hands-on tutorials using our CP-PAW code. In the optional second week the focus will be on a guided self-study project which will be presented in a seminar. The course targets physicists and chemists during their masters or PhD studies.
Making history with 42 digits: Researchers at the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) and KU Leuven have solved decades-old mathematical challenge by computing the so-called ninth Dedekind number. Experts worldwide have been searching for the value since 1991. The Paderborn scientists arrived at the exact sequence of numbers with the help of the Noctua supercomputer located at PC2 . The results will be presented in September at the…
Große Rechenzentren sind aus unserem Alltag oft nicht mehr wegzudenken. Daten für Videokonferenzen, Livestreaming und Video-on-demand werden zum Beispiel Tag für Tag in riesigen Mengen verarbeitet und schnellstmöglich an Endgeräte übertragen. Unternehmen speichern und verarbeiten viele Daten, um uns unsere liebsten Services direkt auf Smartphone & Co. anbieten zu können. Auch die Forschung kann durch spezialisierte Rechenleistung unterstützt…
On November 7. and 8. the National Alliance of High-Performance Computing (NHR) has introduced the "NHR Computational Physics Center" (CPC) through a virtual inauguration symposium.
On the 3rd of November 2022 14:00-17:00, our fifth annual PC² User Meeting will take place. The meeting will be held in a hybrid fashion. We cordially invite all interested people to join the event in person in room P1.4.17 on our campus. Additionally, we will provide online access for those who cannot personally come to Paderborn.
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.

140,000 processor cores, high-tech of the very latest generation and yet as compact as a squash court: On Friday, April 29, Paderborn University officially inaugurated its new high-performance computing center and the "Noctua 2" supercomputer.
On April 29, 2022, we would like to celebrate the inauguration of our high-performance data center and the commissioning of the Noctua 2 high-performance computer with you. The ceremony begins at 2:00 p.m. in lecture hall O1 in building O of the University of Paderborn and ends with a reception and the opportunity to tour the data center.
