Our Projects

In addition to the coordination of procurement and operational tasks, the promotion and further development of high-performance scientific computing is a central goal of the NHR Alliance. 

NHR Future Projects

In our Future Projects, several NHR centers work together on innovative topics. The current focus is on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in conjunction with high-performance computing and the energy-efficient operation and use of high-performance computers:

• Interaction between HPC, AI, and Research Data
• AI-Accelerated Molecular Computations in HPC Environments
• Energy efficiency and operational costs in HPC
