New supercomputer accelerates cutting-edge research

Marvin's ability to process and analyze huge amounts of data opens up new perspectives for research © University of Bonn / Volker Lannert . Ever larger data volumes, more complex calculation and modeling methods: In many fields of research, large amounts of data play an important role. With the new high-performance computer "Marvin", the University of Bonn enables its researchers to use artificial intelligence and machine learning more easily. With its scalable GPU partition, the computer is among the top 500 worldwide. The acquisition was financed in part by excellence funds and is part of the University of Bonn's digital strategy . With a symbolic push of a button, Marvin's 18,432 computational cores began their work - giving a powerful boost to research at the University of Bonn in the fields of high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. AI-driven solutions for more sustainable agriculture, battery (r)evolution thanks to computational chemistry, and better climate research and models are just a few examples of applications where the high-performance computer will be used.
