EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen visits AI Factory HammerHAI

On July 7, 2025, Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, visited the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) as part of her tour of European “AI factories” established by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. The visit spotlighted HammerHAI, Germany’s first AI factory—launched in December 2024 and coordinated by HLRS along with partners such as the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre…

Invitation to BayernKI Q&A Session (July 2, online)

The first Wednesday of the month is coming up, and we are pleased to invite you to our second BayernKI Q&A Session, jointly organized by NHR@FAU and LRZ. This online session provides a regular opportunity for current and future users of our AI infrastructure to discuss your questions and receive support. If there are specific topics or questions you would like to discuss in the session, you can let us know in advance via the following form…

Gauss Centre for Supercomputing offering online info event on AI project calls

For those with larger AI projects that are not fully covered by the basic compute time provided by BayernKI, there is another option: A new call for projects on the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing’s (GCS’s) systems will open soon. To support this, the AI Support teams from FZJ/JSC, LRZ, and HLRS are organizing an info event for scientists interested in AI-related projects on the GCS supercomputers, including…

First BayernKI Q&A Session

Current and future users of BayernKI resources for science can join the first BayernKI Q&A Session!

We are pleased to invite you to our first BayernKI Q&A Session, jointly organized by NHR@FAU and LRZ. It takes place on Wednesday, June 4 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. This online session will recur on the first Wednesday of every month, providing a regular opportunity…

Replacing AI training with Math Methods

Artificial neural networks are becoming increasingly large and complex – and therefore require more and more energy for training with data. A research team led by Felix Dietrich, Professor of Physics-Enhanced Machine Learning at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), is working on replacing training steps with mathematical methods. This reduces power consumption and helps to better understand how artificial intelligence (AI) works…

This month’s HPC Café on April 8 is all about BayernKI

NHR@FAUs next HPC Café will take place on April 8 at 4:00 p.m. as a hybrid event. As always, there will be plenty of time to get in touch with your favorite HPC group. We invite you to come to NHR@FAU to enjoy coffee, cake, and computing. The event starts at 4:00 p.m. CEST with an open coffee chat, and at 4:30 p.m., we will start the presentation.

“Blue Lion”: HPE to build next supercomputer at LRZ

The new supercomputer “Blue Lion” is part of the German national HPC infrastructure of the Gauss Center for Supercomputing and will serve a wide range of research projects, combining classic simulations with artificial intelligence. Please read the press release of HPE. Blue Lion is scheduled to go live in early 2027 and deliver 30X faster performance…

AI technology to fight Online Harassment faster

With the CS-2 system from Cerebras, AI models for the recognition of hate speech on social media platforms can be trained faster, and offensive texts can be detected more effectively. This is shown by a study from the LRZ that compares different AI accelerator systems. Identifying hate speech and removing it from the digital world: This is a task…

Cerebras-Workshop showing potential for AI projects and HPC applications

A face-to-face workshop at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre demonstrated the potential of Cerebras Systems’s CS-2 system for science and research: In addition to training large language models and pattern recognition, it can also accelerate high-performance computing applications. New technologies arouse…
