GöHPC-Systems
In addition to the SCC, the GWDG hosts a number of other compute clusters. The term HPC-Hosting describes a flexible offer for institutes which have their own funds for HPC-Resources and want to use them as efficiently as possible. In close collaboration with the scientists suitable systems are planned, tendered and operated. The GWDG can be consulted for individual steps, support of the entire process or take over certain parts or the entire process. During operation, different models are possible, from the complete integration into the HPC-Environment of the GWDG to the pure operation of the hardware (supply of power and cooling) while the other operational resposibilities stay with the respective institute. Examples for a complete integration are various working groups of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemnistry in Göttingen and the upcoming system of the Campus Institut Dynamics of Biological Networks (CIDBN). A current example of hardware operation is the latest cluster of the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Göttingen.
Campus Institut Data Science
The Campus Institute Data Science (CIDAS) is a joint scientific institution on the Göttingen Campus. The involved parties are the University of Göttingen, the University of Applied Sciences and Art (HAWK), the University Medical Centre, the five local Max Planck Institutes, the Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the German Aerospace Centre and the German Primate Centre. CIDAS forms an interface between computer science, statistics, mathematics and the various disciplines. It combines method development with the top international research of the Göttingen Campus. With the help of CIDAS, campus-wide research, teaching and further education at the University, the HAWK and the Göttingen Campus in the field of Data Science will be coordinated and efficiently carried out.
Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks
The Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks (CIDBN) is a cross-faculty institute of the University of Göttingen, the University Medical Centre Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization. It's research focuses on the investigation of dynamic processes with the goal to better capture biological information processing and to represent these in computational models. For this purpose, the CIDBN, in collaboration with the GWDG, is setting up a platform for scientific high-performance computing which will be explicitly customized for computational and theory-based research on biological networks. This platform will be a foundation for the further development in the area of computer and data based research in life sciences at the Göttingen campus. The HPC resources of the CIDBN will be hosted completely within the integrated operational concept as part of the SCC.
