Computational Physics Center
Our offer provides researchers at German universities with free access to computing resources and support
Overview
What is the NHR Computational Physics Center
The Computational Physics Center consists of three NHR centers that are especially dedicated to computational physics:
- the PC2 in Paderborn,
- the NHR@KIT in Karlsruhe,
- and the NHR@SW in Main/Frankfurt.
Together these centers combine expertise from the wide field.
The computing systems of the three NHR centers are tailored for computations in astrophysics, atomistic simulations, condensed-matter physics, quantum chemistry, and solid-state physics in general.
Please note that there is a special group dedicated to atomistic simulations, which has its own description on this website → More Info
Activities
The activities of the Computational Physics Center are especially focused on:
- Organization of scientific events like symposia, workshops, and schools
- Coordination of scientific support
- Improving HPC system usability for researchers from the wide field of computational physics, e.g., software availability
- Exploring new computing architectures such as analog computing, quantum computing, and others for computer physics simulations.
