Opis

High-Performance Computers (HPC) have initiated a revolutionary develop ment in research and technology since many complex and challenging prob lems in this area can only be solved by HPC and a network in modeling, algo rithms and software. In 1998 the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Association) recommended to install an additional Federal High Performance Computer followed by the one in Stuttgart. In January 1999 the Wissenschaftsrat (German Science Council) decided that the Leibniz Rechenzentrum (Computing Center) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich should run the second Federal High-Performance Computer in Ger many. The investment cost of this Hochstleistungsrechner in Bayern (HLRB) was borne by the Federal Government of Germany and the Free State of Bavaria whereas the operating cost was at the expense of the Bavarian Gov ernment only. The operation of the HLRB is organized in combination with the - Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences as the operating authority of the HLRB - Steering Committee of the HLRB - Competence Network for Technical/Scientific High-Performance Comp- ing in Bavaria (KONWIHR). In 2000 a Hitachi SR8000-Fl was installed. It was the first Teraflops Com puter in Germany and reached a peak performance of two Teraflops after an extension at the end of 2001. The goal of HLRB is to provide computer facil ities necessary to solve challenging scientific and technological problems that cannot be solved on big servers but require large (storage) high-performance (very fast) computers and efficient software.

O autorze

Prof. Dr. Arndt Bode wurde 1987 auf den Lehrstuhl für Rechnertechnik und Rechnerorganisation in der Fakultät für Informatik der TUM berufen. Seine wichtigsten Arbeitsgebiete sind technische Informatik, Rechnerarchitektur, Supercomputer, parallele und verteilte Systeme, Entwicklungswerkzeuge sowie verteilte Anwendungen. Daneben gilt sein besonderes Engagement der fachübergreifenden Kooperation in Forschung und Lehre für Informatikprodukte, der Standardisierung von Grundsoftware für parallele und verteilte Systeme sowie dem Technologietransfer.
Von Bodes hoher wissenschaftlicher Qualifikation zeugen über 200 Fachpublikationen, darunter Bücher über Rechnerarchitektur, Mikroprogrammierung, Mikroprozessoren und Anwendungen. Diese wurde unter anderem honoriert mit dem "Fellowship des Department of Employment, Education and Training", Canberra, Australien, dem "Best University Research Demonstration Award CONPAR 1990", Zürich und dem "Award for Online Visualization, CONPAR 90", ETH Zürich. Bode ist auch Herausgeber verschiedener nationaler und internationaler Buchreihen und wissenschaftlicher Zeitschriften, seit 1999 Hauptherausgeber des Informatik-Spektrum, Springer Verlag.
Bode ist national und international ein sehr gefragter Gutachter und Mitglied in zahlreichen Fachgesellschaften. Seit 1994 gehört er der Kommission für Informatik der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften an, seit 1999 der Kommission für Rechenanlagen der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft. Ebenso übt er zahlreiche Tätigkeiten als Berater für nationale und internationale Unternehmen aus.
Im Februar 2005 ist Prof. Bode für weitere drei Jahre in seinem Amt als Vizepräsident und CIO der TU München bestätigt worden.
