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.
Running large simulations and data analyses on parallel clusters, from the TU/e Umbrella cluster to national and European supercomputers.
GPU computing for deep learning, and sovereign large language models hosted at TU/e on Spike-1.
Support for simulation software such as ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus, STAR-CCM+ and OpenFOAM, from setup to scaling up.
What quantum computing is, how it relates to HPC, and hands-on workshops with Quantum Inspire at our HPC School.
Consulting & support
Advice on which compute infrastructure suits your research, hands-on help optimizing your code, and help getting access to the right systems.
Training
HPC Schools and workshops for students, researchers and professionals from academia and industry.
Working with industry
We also take on assignments from external research institutions and industry. Companies in the region can access AI computing power through Supercomputing Brabant.
News & events
Announcements, workshops and stories from the TU/e supercomputing community.
Umbrella HPC Cluster
The TU/e HPC cluster, built from departmental CPU and GPU resources and managed by the Supercomputing Center Infra Team. Access with your TU/e account.
Spike-1
GPU platform for AI research and hosted large language models, funded by EAISI and TU/e departments.
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.
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.
On Monday 26 October, TU/e hosts the NVIDIA GTC Viewing Party in the Blauwe Zaal: a condensed recap of Jensen Huang's GTC Berlin keynote, talks on AI in research and industry, and an afternoon of networking with AI professionals from the Netherlands and Belgium. Admission is free; registration is required.
Richard Zoontjens, lead of the TU/e Supercomputing Center, is one of the speakers: If you don't compute, you don't compete.
The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI) is now available on the TU/e Umbrella HPC Cluster, giving all users access to a large, shared collection of optimized scientific software.
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.
