Our HPC SPECTRA face-to-face meeting at HLRS has concluded with strong outcomes!

We aligned on key work packages, remaining actions before project end, and wrapped up with a tour of the CAVE and the supercomputing room. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Luxembourg for the final project review.

HPC SPECTRA face-to-face meeting is underway at HLRS!

Great to have all five partners in Stuttgart. This morning we reviewed progress on project management, training platform deployment, and skill tree development.

Looking forward to the next sessions over the course of the meeting!

HPC SPECTRA will hold its 2026 face-to-face meeting this Wednesday, Feb 18, at HLRS in Stuttgart！

Our five work package leaders will share project updates, key achievements, and final steps as we move toward project closure. Looking forward to aligning efforts in person. More details come soon!

Join LRZ and NVIDIA DLI on-site in Garching (May 18–20, 2026) for a 3-day intensive course on scaling deep learning from a single GPU to full HPC clusters using data/model parallelism and hands-on GPU sessions.

Registration is still open!

The International HPC Summer School 2025 has officially wrapped up in Lisbon!

It’s been an intense and enriching week filled with technical training and global exchange among researchers.

Thanks to everyone who made this experience so meaningful. see you next year!

#IHPCSS2025 #HPC #Summerschool

Some great moments from the kickoff of IHPCSS 2025 in Lisbon.

Over the past few days, students from across the globe have begun their journey into advanced computing and its applications.

Wishing all participants a productive and enriching time ahead at IHPCSS 2025!

#IHPCSS2025 #HPCCommunity

🏫 IHPCSS 2025 is live in Lisbon!

We’re welcoming 90+ HPC students from around the world — including 34 from 15 European countries, with ~30% women and diverse gender identities represented.

Also excited to see 3 returning alumni joining as mentors!
