The Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) is a central scientific institution of the Technische Universität Dresden. It is responsible for the IT infrastructure of the university and currently operates a high performance computing system with more than 4500 cores. With its interdisciplinary orientation the ZIH supports other faculties and institutions in their research and education. Support and consulting is also provided to users from Saxonian universities, surrounding research institutes like Max Planck Society and industrial partners. Beyond the support of local users ZIH cooperates with other HPC centers in Germany and world-wide and is an established competence center for parallel computing and software tools. The center is involved in the following research areas: Software tools for parallel programming and optimization, architecture and performance evaluation, programming methods and techniques for high performance computing, innovative methods for computing, algorithms and methods for the modelling of biological processes, and software tools for grid computing. The performance analysis framework Vampir has been developed and improved by ZIH since many years and is today one of the leading performance analysis tools.

ZIH's interest in the project concerns in further development and completion of their performance analysis tools for hybrid, data-intensive and innovative applications and giving support to the partners in the analysis and optimization of their application programs.
