High Performance Computing

A team led by Professor Banerjee develops new modules for the FLASH code, particularly for GPU-accelerated simulations.

The work group of Professor Hauschildt and their collaborators develop the atmosphere code PHOENIX, that is designed to make use of all levels of parallelisation that any given hardware setup can offer.

Theoretical researches at Hamburg Observatory are major users of supercomputers, such as the HLRN-IV system in Berlin and Göttingen.

Many of the stellar atmosphere simulations are run at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Berkeley, California.
