Together with the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen , the Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum has been operating the HLRN-IV , a geographically distributed high-performance computer, since autumn 2019 . The CIA operates in Berlin as part of the North German association for High-Performance Computing (HLRN) as a service to universities and scientific institutions in northern Germany, a high-performance computer system . An identical system is installed at the HLRN site in Göttingen. The allocation of computing time to major projects is carried out according to the scientific criteria of the DFG by a scientific committee independent of the ZIB. All projects that are supported are each accompanied by a specialist advisor (“HPC pilot”).
