The High Performance Computing Centre (HLRS) is a research and service institution affiliated to the University of Stuttgart. It has been the first national supercomputing centre in Germany and is offering services to academic users and industry. Furthermore, it has, together with the Steinbuch Computing Centre Karlsruhe funded two solution centres (Energy and Automotive) to support activities of stakeholders in this domain. With the co-founded SICOS GmbH, HLRS is in constant contact with SMEs willing to use HPC to improve their business.
