Large data centres have become an integral part of our everyday lives. Data for video conferencing, live streaming and video-on-demand, for example, is processed in huge quantities every day and transmitted to end devices as quickly as possible. Companies store and process a lot of data so that they can offer us our favourite services directly on our smartphones and other devices. Specialised computing power can also be used to support research.
But what exactly is a data centre? What is a high-performance computer (HPC system)? What is calculated in a research computer centre like this one? These and many other questions will be answered during a visit to the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2), Paderborn University's high-performance computing centre. On 14 April from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., PC2 invites you to a guided tour with a presentation of the Otus and Noctua 2 computing systems. Prior registration is required.
