Computing
We offer every one of our researchers access to high-performance workstations and compute servers. On the desktop we have a wide variety of equipment ranging from the top-end latest Mac Pros to multiple CPU Linux machines with plenty of RAM. It's our goal to provide the finest personal computing environment to all our staff and faculty.
Perceiving Systems shares a compute cluster with other departments in the Intelligent Systems Institute
Our scientists have access to state-of-the-art High Performance Computing facilities, including an in-house cluster with CPU nodes, energy-efficient GPU accelerators, and over 3 petabytes of storage. The CPU nodes are optimized for research applications, with many featuring 3TB of RAM and 192 cores. The cluster also includes 1,100+ GPUs, such as Nvidia H100s, with a peak performance exceeding 30 PetaFLOP/s. For additional computing power, researchers can use the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility in Garching.
A dedicated team supports researchers in optimizing their use of these resources, ensuring efficient and scalable applications.
