WHO PROFITS FROM HPC?
From small agencies specialising in film special effects to large automotive companies, HPC can benefit many businesses that process large amounts of data or perform complex calculations. Here you can find a list of application examples.

Research & Development
From prototyping to fluid dynamics, most processes in research and development can benefit from HPC to become shorter, cheaper or more efficient.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Autonomous vehicles, technical support and automated production lines are highly dependent on data processing and therefore ideal for HPC.

Engineering
Engineers from all disciplines use HPC to their advantage, whether it's executing multi-physics simulations, optimizing vehicles, or solving design processes.

Medicine
Pharmacists, doctors and medical researchers rely on HPC to develop new vaccines, analyse medical effects, or develop new medical tools.

Climate and Weather
HPC centres around the world have always had good contacts with companies in these areas, from simulations of climate change to weather forecasting.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
HPC is increasingly being used in both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce development costs through shorter simulation times, to increase product quality or to develop new types of solutions through problem-solving techniques such as high-performance data analysis and artificial intelligence. Here you will find services and competences that can be used in various forms of cooperation, from direct contracts to research projects. You can find a comprehensive overview of the services offered under Services.
