Unlock Powerful Computing Resources & Expertise - Join the Lecture on NHR Services for Digital Humanities!
What is NHR?
The National High-Performance Computing (NHR) program is an integral part of Germany’s HPC infrastructure, classified as a Tier 2 center. With nine NHR centers across Germany, NHR provides free access to high-performance computing resources and expert support for universities nationwide.
What We Offer:
- Access to state-of-the-art computing resources across multiple domains including Life Sciences, Digital Humanities, AI, and more.
- Support Services such as training, consulting, and funding opportunities for emerging scientists.
- HPC Infrastructure and a robust scientific computing software stack tailored to a wide variety of research fiComputational Life Scienceelds.
- AI-as-a-Service through KISSKI and SAIA, offering scalable solutions and models, including large language models (LLMs), GPUs, and more.
Specific Focus for Digital Humanities
- Pre-installed applications such as Jupyter HPC, Python, Conda, and PyTorch with GPU support for text analysis, computational linguistics, and digital cultural heritage research.
- Expert consultants and collaborations with the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH), SUB Göttingen, and GippLab, providing interdisciplinary expertise in digital text processing, knowledge organization, and scholarly publishing.
- Ongoing support for MONA and other large-scale digital humanities projects, including historical data analysis, AI-assisted annotation, and digital preservation efforts.
