Welcome to PC²

ARMINIUS - Compute and Visualization Cluster

The Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing, PC², is an interdisciplinary institute of the University of Paderborn, Germany. We are specialized in distributed and parallel computing for research, development and practical applications and for the investigation of new fields for our partners and ourselves. Practical work has been done in a number of different areas shown in our projects page.

Our parallel computers are amongst the most powerful of their type. They enable us to study practical applications in a high-performance computing environment. Among our computing facilities are several large Intel- and AMD-based InfiniBand- and MyriNet-clusters with up to 416 processors, and some smaller machines. These systems can be accessed conveniently via the G-WIN network.

Within the supporting groups, theoretical work is done to develop methodsPC².de Shortcut and principles for the construction and efficient use of distributed and parallel computer systems.
