The Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (SCAI) conducts research and offers services in the research areas of numerical software, simulation engineering, optimization, distributed computing, bioinformatics and virtual material design. Fraunhofer SCAI has relevant experience that ranges from research on parallel numerical algorithms over software porting and service integration, such as AA and accounting integration, to professional benchmarking for customers from industry and SMEs. Commercial software products of the institute are running on a variety of systems, especially HPC clusters. The institute was one of the first CUDA research centres in Germany, developing and optimizing CUDA based solutions for industry and SME partners. Through its unique position between research and industry, SCAI is able to provide its SME contacts to the activities of the project. SCAI will offer its broad experience in HPC related research and product implementation activities through consultancy and development of best practices. |
