The department "Scientific Computing and Research Data" is responsible for the requirements analysis and design of powerful resources for scientific computing and the procession of large scientific data and, furthermore, provides help and support for scientific users. In particular, it assists users in parallelization, vectorization and optimization of programs, helps to design suitable work flows for scientific applications, and gives support in the application of trans-regional compute resources of the next higher performance class. By offering courses, general support and project participations on the one hand and being a member of the Computational Science Centre on the other, the department creates the connection between methodological sciences, scientific-technical user groups and providers of high performance (super)computers.
