The North German Supercomputing Alliance (Norddeutscher Verbund für Hoch- und Höchstleistungsrechnen – HLRN) operates a distributed supercomputer system. The system is hosted at the two HLRN sites Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and Zuse Institute Berlin and is dedicated to the scientific research community in Germany.
The users of the HLRN are supported by a transregional and interdisciplinary competence network consisting of application experts. This network involves all boards and institutions in the HLRN. The alliance is represented in the Gauß-Allianz by the two HLRN sites.
