High-Performance Computing: Scalable Infrastructure for Geophysical Simulations and Genomic Analysis

The GeoComputing Group operates an outstanding computer infrastructure for testing software and routinely performing medium-scale geophysical simulations. At the heart of this infrastructure is the Munich Tectonic High-Performance Simulator (TETHYS). This means that a large part of this "capacity computing" can be carried out in-house. For "capability computing," i.e., extremely demanding simulations, we have access to high-end supercomputing facilities at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), in particular its current flagship supercomputer, SuperMUC-NG. Overall, this ensures that scientific progress in our group is supported by world-leading expertise in the development and application of computing resources.
Computational resources: Available computational resources for phylogenetics/phylogenomics and genome analysis include a local Galaxy server with 32 cores and 192 GB RAM for managing standard analytical workflows in a reproducible manner. For additional and complex analyses, two local Linux Clusters (1536 cores/6000 GB RAM or 480 cores/4608 GB RAM) are accessible.
