The JARA Partition

The JARA Partition consists of contingents on the high-performance computers and supercomputers installed at RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich. The main reasons to set up this Partition in 2012 were the guaranteed amount of computing time for projects from the two regional partners on latest HPC architectures, the reduced but highly efficient assignment procedure that fosters scientific excellence, and the requirements of the funding bodies BMBF and MIWF to arrange for larger and more efficiently used HPC infrastructures.
Currently, the partition consists of resources on the computing cluster CLAIX installed at RWTH Aachen, on the modular supercomputer JURECA at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre and on the D-Wave Advantage™ System JUPSI operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre within the Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing (JUNIQ).
