Reinventing HPC: LRZ at the ISC 2024
“Reinventing HPC” is the official slogan for ISC High-Performance 2024. The challenges in the HPC ecosystem are manyfold: What are the answers to create more energy-efficient and more sustainable HPC? How do we deal with energy consumption in the rapidly growing AI space? And is AI all about scale or maybe also about smart AI approaches within HPC? What's next in the field of HPC and quantum? And how do we prepare our users for all of this?
At the LRZ, we’ve accepted the challenge to find solutions to the questions, that drive our industry already today – and to do the possible. Why? Because it is in our DNA to support our users as best as we can and always be one step ahead to providing the latest technologies. Opening up new avenues for our users and increasing their time-to-solution is what really matters to us.

Soon to be operational, the Phase 2 of SuperMUC-NG it's one of the fastest supercomputers in Germany. It significantly expands LRZ’s high performance artificial intelligence capabilities and serves Germany's broad AI and HPC userbase. It will reduce the time to science for world-class use cases from e.g. life sciences, environmental sciences, and material sciences.

#DiscoverLRZ at ISC24
Meet our HR team and become a big reason for big science at LRZ
Check out the exhibit: Hot-water cooled GPU
SuperMUC-NG
Enabling word-class science: This is what our flagship system does for an extremely broad user base reaching from astrophysics and engineering to environmental computing and personalized medicine. Get to know our leadership-class system: SuperMUC-NG Phase 1 and 2
AI propels HPC
With AI techniques becoming more widely used, demand in HPC and AI resources increases in various fields of science at the speed of light. Our answer: Integrating the power of HPC with artificial intelligence techniques and work on smart AI solutions.
Future Computing
With our ambitious Future Computing Program we are contributing to the tech offensive by the Free State of Bavaria - the Hightech Agenda Bayern. Welcome to our playground on the way to Exascale.
Quantum Computing
From music of the future to everyday rhythm: Step by step and in collaboration with our partners in science, technology and industry we are orchestrating quantum computing and bringing the new technology into everyday life in science and research.
Supercomputing both consumes energy and helps co-develop energy efficiency solutions. Togehter with our partners we have been leading the way in this field for over a decade. And the topic is not losing its relevance. On the contrary, with energy hungry AI solutions on the rise, it gets ever more hot. Watch the talk "More compute with less energy" given by our Head of LRZ, Prof. Dieter Kranzlmüller, for the lecture series "Sustainability in Computer Science" at the TU Wien earlier in 2024. And let's discuss his statements on-site at ISC.
