Prof. Fritsch, Edelgard Bulmahn, Prof. Resch, Masahiko Yamamoto, G端nther Oettinger at the inauguration of the new supercomputer in July 2005.
"Large supercomputers secure economic leadership for Germany." explained Edelgard Bulmahn, Federal Minister for Research and Education at the inauguration of the HLRS, justifying the engagement of her ministry in the new center.
"High Performance Computing is a key competence for Science and Industry in Baden-W端rttemberg. Industry needs these computers, when real tests for product development are impossible, too time consuming or simply too expensive. " agreed Prime Minister G端nther Oettinger.
Thanks to supercomputers, research and product development can be conducted faster, and with higher quality, exploring new frontiers of novel development methods and materials. Moreover, industry can use physical simulations on supercomputers to cut the high development costs associated with the production of prototypes, to speed up product development and to take advantage of a new virtual development methodology.
Supercomputers like the one at the High-Performance Computing Centre (HLRS) in Stuttgart make it possible for science and industry in Germany to assume a leading role in the world of research. This central German research facility leads the field in Europe and its applications range from aviation and space travel, vehicle and medical technology, to environmental technology (fuel cells and solar technology) and nanotechnology.
