HHLR-GU Clusters @ CSC
The Center for Scientific Computing (CSC) of the Goethe University Frankfurt currently operates three Linux-based computer clusters within the framework of the HHLR-GU (Hessisches Hochleistungsrechenzentrum der Goethe-Universität) to support numerically intensive studies in a variety of research fields, ranging from neuroscience to high-energy physics.
The CPU cluster "Fuchs" is available for HPC (High Performance Computing) applications for users from all universities in Hessen. As the system is designed to support different types of applications the cluster provides an ideal HPC-infrastructure for the scientific community.
The GPGPU cluster "Scout" is a testbed for users who want to develop or port code to run on modern architecture graphics processors.
Recently, the massive parallel cluster "LOEWE-CSC", a combined CPU-GPU cluster, was installed.

The CSC was founded as a joint initiative of research groups from the university departments:
- Physics
- Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmacy
- Geosciences
- Computer Science and Mathematics
and the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS).
The mission of the CSC is HPC support for the scientific community and education in Computational Science.
The CSC organizes the interdisciplinary master program Computational Science and regular seminars.
