# High Performance Computing

High Performance Computing (HPC) refers to the use of powerful computing clusters to solve complex computational problems and support data-intensive research tasks that exceed the capabilities of standard workstations.

## Implementation at Universität Greifswald

At the Universität Greifswald, HPC is provided as a central [[campus-it]] service. The primary implementation is the [[hpc-brain-cluster]].

### Service Management and Support
- **Provider**: The service is provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]].
- **Support**: Managed by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via a ticket system and a dedicated hotline.
- **Language**: Technical documentation for the university's HPC environment is maintained exclusively in English.
