The Athene high-performance computer at the University of Regensburg has been in existence for almost 15 years.
Athene currently combines hardware from four generations of architecture - Westmare, Ivy Bridge, Broadwell and Milan. These are networked together with low latency using Infiniband (QDR, FDR, EDR). If, for example, the most recently procured 468 Broadwell nodes are used to jointly solve a linear system of equations with 2.7 million unknowns, the matrix occupies a good 53 TiB of RAM and a further 2.5 TiB for IO buffers. After just 11 hours of computing, the result is ready - the nodes have performed ? PFLOP/s.

HPC consultation
If our brief documentation on problems with using our parallel computer or your mentor on using your specialised application on our machine was not able to help you completely, then you may have come to the right place.
In our HPC consultation hour, you as a user can present a problem that you cannot solve in connection with our HPC network Athene to a colleague from our UR HPC team and, with a bit of luck, receive help or suggestions for a solution.
Mr Rückner [Athene HW/OS Design] is currently available to help by telephone (UR 4876) on the following dates:
- Monday 14:00 - 15:00
- Wednesday 14:00 - 15:00
