8th bwHPC Symposium

Published: 7 Apr 2022 by bwHPC Symposium Team

The 8th bwHPC Symposium this year will take place on

November 28, 2022

and will be hosted at the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS).

The bwHPC symposium offers a unique opportunity to actively engage in a dialog between scientific users, operators of bwHPC services, and the bwHPC support centers. Its focus is on the presentation of scientific projects and success stories carried out with the help of bwHPC high-performance computing in the context of the BaWü data federation.

The symposium will be free of charge and open to researchers from all scientific fields. Currently, the bwHPC symposium is planned as a face-to-face event. If necessitated by the infection situation, a switch to an online event is possible.

Information on the registration and the agenda will follow in due time and will also be available online:

The Weka Storage and Milan partition have been successfully delivered for the new NEMO2 cluster. Testing, benchmarking, and system configuration will take place in the coming weeks. We anticipate starting with limited functionality and gradually expanding it over time. A portion of the old NEMO cluster had to be shut down to accommodate the installation of the Milan partition.

The 10th bwHPC Symposium will take place on September 25th and 26th, 2024 and will be hosted by the University of Freiburg. Registration and call for participation are now open.

The use of a second factor to secure logins to services is becoming increasingly mandatory. bwHPC currently uses time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) or Yubico OTP as a second factor for SSH logins. We have looked at some hardware security tokens for bwIDM/bwHPC that can be used instead of a mobile phone.
