Available from Summer 2023: Marvin – State of the Art Tier 3 Cluster
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 of 2023. Check out the technical details below. We are planning to open Marvin to users at the University of Bonn (and cooperation partners) starting from summer 2023. The University of Bonn plans to document the work leading to the installation and opening of Marvin. Check here later for photos.

Access
When the system is ready, users will be requested to go through a low-threshold application procedure, comparable to the one we currently use for Bonna.
