Available from Summer 2023: State-of-the-Art HPC-Cluster "Marvin"

A big tier-3 HPC-cluster was purchased by the University of Bonn in October 2022. We are happy to announce that Megware will deliver a real leading edge high performance system in early Q2 2023. Check out the technical details below. We are planning to open Marvin to the users at the Uni Bonn (and cooperation partners) starting from summer 2023; the users will be requested to go through a low-threshold application procedure, comparable to the one we currently use for bonna already.

The University of Bonn plans to document the works leading to the installation and opening of Marvin; please check here later for links to the photos.
