Your infrastructure for AI research in Bavaria
BayernKI is the central infrastructure for the State of Bavaria to advance academic AI research. It provides cutting-edge AI systems, comprehensive user support and user training.
The infrastructure is jointly operated at the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Garching (LRZ) in sustainable and energy efficient environments.
BayernKI is funded by the Hightech Agenda Bavaria (HTA) and accessible free of charge for researchers at Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences.

Invitation to BayernKI Q&A Session (July 2, online)
The first Wednesday of the month is coming up, and we are pleased to invite you to our second BayernKI Q&A Session, jointly organized by NHR@FAU and LRZ. This online session provides a regular opportunity for current and future users of our AI infrastructure to discuss your questions and receive support. If there are specific topics or questions you would like to discuss in the session, you can let us know in advance via the following form... BayernKI visiting Workshop “AI infrastructure for researchers in Bavaria”
Bavaria is an AI hotspot, but AI research needs reliable access to infrastructure, and that's where BayernKI enters the stage. This week the NHR@FAU joined the workshop “AI infrastructure for researchers in Bavaria” at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA). The aim of the event was to provide information about AI infrastructure in Bavaria, to identify the needs of AI researchers and to support... Gauss Centre for Supercomputing offering online info event on AI project calls
For those with larger AI projects that are not fully covered by the basic compute time provided by BayernKI, there is another option: A new call for projects on the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing's (GCS's) systems will open soon. To support this, the AI Support teams from FZJ/JSC, LRZ, and HLRS are organizing an info event for scientists interested in AI-related projects on the GCS supercomputers, including... Join our HPC Café on “Using containers on the HPC systems at NHR@FAU”!
NHR@FAU’s next HPC Café will take place tomorrow on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. CEST as a hybrid event, provided by our AI Support Team. As always, there will… NHR@FAU GPU cluster “Helma” hits #51 in the 65th Top500 list
The 65th Top500 list was released today at the ISC High Performance 2025 Conference in Hamburg, Germany. The list ranks the 500 fastest supercomputers in the world using the “High Performance LINPACK” benchmark.
Helma, NHR@FAU’s GPU supercomputer, was recently expanded with another 96 nodes for a total of 768 H100 and H200 GPUs. We are thrilled to announce that Helma now ranks 51st in the current list, with a...
