High-Performance Computing

High-Performance Computing

The theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of molecules and the quantum dynamical treatment of nuclear motion requires a special set of powerful hardware and efficient software.

Hardware

In order to produce results within our research aims in the field of electronic structure calculations and multidimensional wave packet dynamics (see also: research activities) the computer represents an indispensable tool.

The implementation of scientific computing is bound to high-performance computers that cover computer systems with high performance, memory and storage capacity.

Besides the recently installed Linux cluster system ROSA, which is also used by various research groups of Faculties II and V (see: central High-Performance Computing - HPC), there are several resources exclusively reserved for the research activities of our group.
 

Resources exclusively used by the research group Theoretical Chemistry:
