DescriptionMany HPC machines provide simulation capabilities to academic and public research organizations. Their statutes or other public regulations often seem to limit their availability to industrial and commercial users. However, there are many benefits of HPC and academic supercomputing, which help to advance the private sector into novel domains and business opportunities. This talk introduces the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) as part of the German Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), whose primary mission is to support science and research with computing capabilities at the highest level. Situated in the North of Munich, it supports a fruitful and diverse environment of sectors, which have been using HPC for various activities. Examples from the automotive and aerospace industry, from banking and stock exchanges, from bioinformatics, insurance, environment, and many other domains illustrate the potential collaboration and benefits between both worlds.
