Prime Minis\u00adter Win\u00adfried Kret\u00adsch\u00admann explai\u00adned, \u201cWith Hawk we can sup\u00adport key indus\u00adtries in the sta\u00adte of Baden-W\u00fcrt\u00adtem\u00adberg, enab\u00adling fields like mobi\u00adli\u00adty, mecha\u00adni\u00adcal engi\u00adnee\u00adring, and health to take advan\u00adta\u00adge of new oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties using simu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon.

HLRS<\/span>\u2019s work is not only of enorm\u00adous importance for Baden-W\u00fcrt\u00adtem\u00adberg: Hawk also streng\u00adthens Germany\u2019s natio\u00adnal super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adting infra\u00adstruc\u00adtu\u00adre, as well as that of Euro\u00adpe, as HLRS<\/span> is con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adting to the deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment of four of ten Euro\u00adpean cen\u00adters of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addi\u00adti\u00adon to sup\u00adport\u00ading aca\u00adde\u00admic rese\u00adarch, HLRS<\/span> makes it pos\u00adsi\u00adble for pri\u00adva\u00adte indus\u00adtry to access its super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adting tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies.

In this regard Stutt\u00adgart and the Gauss Cent\u00adre for Super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adting stand alo\u00adne in Europe.<\/p>\n

Sci\u00adence Minis\u00adter The\u00adre\u00adsia Bau\u00ader expands on this, say\u00ading, \u201cThe con\u00adcept of high-per\u00adfor\u00admance com\u00adpu\u00adting means rapid deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment. As quick\u00adly as the peak per\u00adfor\u00admance of super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adters rises, it has an equal\u00adly decisi\u00adve impact for cut\u00adting-edge rese\u00adarch and for the deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment of inno\u00adva\u00adti\u00adve pro\u00adducts and pro\u00adces\u00adses in key sec\u00adtors of our eco\u00adno\u00admy.

Having HLRS<\/span> as a part of the Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Stutt\u00adgart is an important part of this. It means that it is not just the impres\u00adsi\u00adve com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal per\u00adfor\u00admance of the super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adter \u2014 but also the enti\u00adre metho\u00addo\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal exper\u00adti\u00adse loca\u00adted here \u2014 that enables our lea\u00adding com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal rese\u00adarch to achie\u00adve breath\u00adta\u00adking results.\u201d<\/p>\n
