Storage System for a High Performance Computing Service

• Subject Area: Computer Science
• Term: Funded in 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 543803944

The Center for Information and Media Technology (ZIM) operates a high-performance Compute cluster for scientific calculations, which is supported by all research departments and institutes of the Heinrich Heine University can be used free of charge can. The ZIM aims to replace what was previously installed at a single location Storage system based on the parallel cluster file system Gpfs1 by a 2-site HA system, also based on Gpfs, in order to keep availability up to date to bring technology. This procurement complements a measure in the area of CPU-supported computing power approved by the DFG in 2021 and implemented in 2022.
