Your support for AI research in Bavaria
BayernKI is the central infrastructure of the State of Bavaria to advance academic AI research. It provides cutting-edge AI systems, comprehensive user support and user training.
The infrastructure is jointly operated at the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Center in Garching (LRZ) in sustainable and energy efficient environments.
BayernKI is funded by the HighTech Agenda Bavaria (HTA) and accessible free of charge for researchers at Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences.
Latest Milestones:
“Helma” already records massive workload
Early access to the new "Helma" AI cluster at NHR@FAU is in progress and already recording high usage and massive workloads on the system. The first half of the supercomputer is currently in an intense testing phase and will go into open access in the first half of 2025.
Early Access to Cluster “Helma” has started
The quieter days are just around the corner, but for the initial computing nodes of the Cluster Helma, work is just getting started: The first friendly users have now been given early access to the first part of the NHR@FAU high-performance computer, which is mainly intended to support AI research. New NHR@FAU cluster “Helma” hits rank #79 in Top500 list
The 64th Top500 list was released today at the SC24 Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. It ranks the 500 fastest supercomputers in the world according to the “High Performance LINPACK” benchmark, which solves a large, dense system of linear equations.
