High Performance Computing at the University of Bonn

Welcome to High Performance Computing (HPC) at the University of Bonn. This website is your central hub for everything concerning HPC.

Here you can find information on the central HPC systems at the University of Bonn, possibilities to interact with the HPC community and our partners (like HPC.NRW), training opportunities, and articles on important topics such as publication policies.
