HLRN introduction

The North German Supercomputing Alliance (Norddeutscher Verbund für Hoch- und HöchstleistungsrechnenHLRN) operates a distributed supercomputer system. The system is hosted at the two HLRN sites Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and Zuse Institute Berlin and is dedicated to the scientific research community in Germany.

The users of the HLRN are supported by a transregional and interdisciplinary competence network consisting of application experts. This network involves all boards and institutions in the HLRN. The alliance is represented in the Gauß-Allianz by the two HLRN sites. ¹

The University Oldenburg is represented in the HLRN network by Stefan Harfst, who acts as local consultant. The HLRN support can be reached by sending an e-mail to support@hlrn.de.

Sign up to HLRN

Members of the CvO University of Oldenburg are entitled to make use of the supercomputing resources of the North German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN) and you can make a request to get access to the cluster network. To do so, follow the steps listed here:

  1. fill out the application form for a user account, which can find on the HLRN website in English or German. Among other things, the form asks for an active compute project. Should you currently have no approved compute project, choose Other reason and specify your currently proposed compute project.
