7th bwHPC Symposium

Published: 9 Jun 2021 by HPC Team Freiburg

The 7th bwHPC Symposium will take place this year on

November 8, 2021

and will be hosted at the University of Ulm.

Even though the current trends in the COVID-19 pandemic give some hope, we will plan the symposium as an online event in order to be able to offer all participants sufficient commitment and safety.

The event will focus on the presentation of scientific projects and success stories carried out with the help of bwHPC high performance computing or the BaWü data federation, respectively. The event will also offer a unique opportunity to engage in an active dialog between the scientific users, operators of bwHPC services, and the bwHPC-S5 support centers.

The symposium will be free of charge and open to researchers from all scientific fields.

Up-to-date information on registration and agenda will be coming soon and will also be available on the symposium website:

We are looking forward to your participation.

NEMO2 has officially launched, transitioning from a testing phase to full production with expanded hardware, including AMD Instinct MI300A and Nvidia L40A nodes. NEMO1 is being phased out, with limited resources available until May 31st. Users are encouraged to transition to NEMO2 and consult the wiki for details.

NEMO2 uses Miniforge for conda environments, offering a streamlined setup with conda-forge as the default repository. The Miniforge module auto-initializes conda, simplifying environment activation without modifying shell profiles.

The AMD Genoa, Machine Learning and AI partitions for NEMO2 were delivered on December 4th. The acceptance of the storage has been delayed, so that NEMO2 could not yet start this year. However, calculations with the Milan nodes in NEMO1 are still possible.
