Compute to Compete
Consulting, training and computing power for research and innovation

TU/e Supercomputing Center

Computation has become an integral part of scientific research. Many computations can be performed on your laptop or workstation, but more and more, large-scale computational work requires professional methods, tools and equipment.

At the TU/e Supercomputing Center (SCC) we help you run large computations quickly and easily. We help you with consulting, hands-on support and dispatch to appropriate infrastructures. This may be advice on what infrastructure suits you best, hands-on help with optimizing your code, finding the right compute infrastructure for your workload, or even simply getting bureaucratic or financial hurdles out of the way.

  • 9departments and groups with compute in Umbrella
  • 15+trainings and workshops since 2023
  • 2HPC Schools every year

What we work on

High-Performance Computing

Running large simulations and data analyses on parallel clusters, from the TU/e Umbrella cluster to national and European supercomputers.

Find the right platform · Umbrella docs

AI & LLMs

GPU computing for deep learning, and sovereign large language models hosted at TU/e on Spike-1.

Spike-1 · LLM hosting workshop

Simulation

Support for simulation software such as ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus, STAR-CCM+ and OpenFOAM, from setup to scaling up.

Available software · OpenFOAM training

Quantum Computing

What quantum computing is, how it relates to HPC, and hands-on workshops with Quantum Inspire at our HPC School.

How we can help

For TU/e researchers and students

Find the right platform

Research computing scales in steps. Start where your work fits today, and move up when you outgrow it. We help you choose the right step and get access, from your own workstation to European supercomputers.

HPC solutions: on the HPC staircase A researcher asks: do I have an optimal compute job, what HPC solution options do I have, and what are my restrictions? Five ascending steps follow: 1. Personal laptop or workstation. 2. Departmental clusters (specials and silos). 3. Institutional TU/e: Umbrella and Spike-1. 4. National SURF: Snellius. 5. International EuroHPC: LUMI, Leonardo and others. Testing happens at TU/e; improving and scaling up happens at the national and European levels. Underneath all steps, the TU/e Supercomputing Center supports researchers at every step with consulting, code optimization, training, software, and access and paperwork. – Do I have an optimal compute job? – What HPC solution options do I have? – What are my restrictions?

At TU/e, researchers can test and develop on Umbrella and Spike-1, then scale up to Snellius at SURF or to EuroHPC systems such as LUMI and Leonardo when your research needs it.

Partners

We work together with regional, national and European partners to give TU/e researchers access to the right compute, training and expertise. As a founding partner of Supercomputing Brabant, TU/e hosts and operates the dedicated NVIDIA Blackwell systems that give companies and organisations in the region access to AI computing power and expert support.
