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.
As a speaker for our keynote speech "High Performance Computing: Engine for Innovation or Waste of Energy?"…
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…
Supported by a fellowship for "Innovations in Digital University Teaching" funded by Stifterverband and the state of NRW, Paderborn University has taken a step towards lowering the the barrier for students and researchers to use high-performance computing resources with Jupyter notebooks. To achieve this goal, the University of Applied Sciences South Westphalia and the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing at Paderborn University have…
Up to 75 million euros from the federal and state governments for high performance computing at Paderborn University
The High-Performance Computing Center of Paderborn University is accepted into the newly founded National High-Performance Computing Centers Association (NHR). The Joint Science Conference (GWK) decided on this today. For this expansion, the University has applied to the Federal Government and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia…
