The ZIB also operates one of the German National High-Performance Computing Alliance (Nationaler Verbund für Hochleistungsrechnen) supercomputers on behalf of the Berlin University Alliance.
For over forty years the ZIB has carried out world-class research in applied mathematics and data-intensive high-performance computing. Its overarching goal is to enrich and improve life in all areas of society by producing knowledge and developing technologies that are based on innovative research – whether that is artificial intelligence, energy efficiency, sustainable transportation systems, or revolutionary medical technology.
