As a leadership-class computing facility, the mission of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) is to enable significant achievement and advancement in science with powerful computational resources including dedicated hardware and software coupled with computational science expertise for specific research domains. One such focus area is environmental science, which is highly relevant for our daily lives and society. With LRZ’s latest supercomputer SuperMUC-NG and its combination of a powerful general purpose architecture with integrated data science and AI capabilities, users from the environmental sciences increase the size and resolution of their model while reducing the necessary computing time. The major factor of success, however, is the partnership between the domain scientists and the computational specialists at LRZ which includes every step along discovery, from dedicated training through the entire scientific workflow during production runs. This talk introduces the LRZ partnership model and highlights a number of example use cases from environmental computing.
