We offer every one of our researchers access to high-performance workstations and compute servers. On the desktop we have a wide variety of equipment ranging from the top-end latest Mac Pros to multiple CPU Linux machines with plenty of RAM. It's our goal to provide the finest personal computing environment to all our staff and faculty.

Perceiving Systems shares a compute cluster with other departments in the Intelligent Systems Institute. The institute cluster offers approximately 100 compute nodes with a total of more than 9000 CPU cores, more than 650 GPUs, and around 80TB of RAM.

Our cluster supports training large deep networks using GPUs. It includes Nvidia Tesla V100 and Nvidia Tesla A100 GPUs. This will continue to grow. Additionally, researchers have access to the Max Planck supercomputing center in Garching, which has a cluster with more than 1500 CPU nodes and 768 Nvidia Tesla A100 GPUs.

The storage systems offer more than 3PB hard disk capacity.

These nodes are cooled with an advanced and energy-efficient air-cooling system. Nodes run the latest stable version of the popular Ubuntu Linux OS, and jobs are submitted and controlled via the HTCondor.
