Supercomputers "Hunter" and "Herder"

The University of Stuttgart and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) have announced an agreement to build two new supercomputers at the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS). Supercomputers “Hunter” and “Herder” will power cutting-edge academic and industrial research in computational engineering and applied sciences.

  • In the first stage, a transitional supercomputer, called Hunter, will begin operation in 2025.
  • Hunter will be based on the HPE Cray EX4000 supercomputer, which is designed to deliver exascale performance to support large-scale workloads across modeling, simulation, AI, and high-performance data analytics.
  • This will be followed in 2027 with the installation of Herder, an exascale system that will provide a significant expansion of Germany’s high-performance computing capabilities.
