NCC Germany

 

Supercomputing in Deutschland (SIDE) is the German national centre of competence for high-performance computing (HPC) and related technologies. We are the first point of contact for the German and European HPC ecosystem and operate a network of scientists, providers, and users of high-performance computing – from industry to research.

Tasks of the NCC are diverse, including (but not limited to):

  • Collecting HPC Training offers in Germany and displaying them in a central location together with international training offers collected by other NCCs
  • Developing and displaying a comprehensive and transparent map of HPC competences and institutions in Germany
  • Acting as a gateway for industry, public administration,  and academia to providers with suitable expertise or relevant projects, may they be national or international
  • Fostering the industrial uptake of HPC
 
For Industry
Example Picture to illustrate the text. It shows an industrial refinery with chemical tanks as well as a pipe system and chimneys in the background.

 

HPC is increasingly being used in both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce development costs through shorter simulation times, to increase product quality, or to develop new types of solutions through problem-solving techniques such as high-performance data analysis. You will find services and competences that can be used in various forms of cooperation, from direct contracts to research projects:
