Following the successful application of Luxembourg to become a member of the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) in October 2017, Robert Kerger, advisor at the Ministry for Higher Education and Research (MESR) representing Luxembourg in the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI), and Serge Bogaerts, Managing Director of PRACE, were welcomed for an official visit of the High Performance Computing (HPC) facility at the University of Luxembourg on 12 February 2018.
High Performance Computing (HPC) most generally refers to the practice of aggregating computing power in a way that delivers much higher performance than one could get out of a typical desktop computer in order to solve large problems in science, engineering, or business. As all scientific disciplines are becoming computational today, access to HPC resources is nowadays essential for science, society and industry.
Since 2007, the University of Luxembourg has invested more than 9 million euro into its own HPC platform in order to support and drive innovation within strategic research areas of international importance, also closely linked with the realities of Luxembourg’s society and economy. Combining large computing power and huge data storage capacities, the facility offers a competitive and attractive research environment to ensure cutting-edge results in time. Today, more than 460 computer scientists, engineers, physicists, material science researchers, biologists, and even economists have the opportunity to run on this platform intensive computations and perform Big Data analytics as part of their research.
