Computing Facilities
Scientists use the first-class infrastructure of the Munich Scientific Network and cross-location infrastructures.
Munich Science Network
The Leibniz Supercomputing Center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities is the IT service provider for Munich's universities and colleges. As a national and European high-performance computing center, it supports outstanding research and teaching in a wide range of scientific disciplines through highly available, secure and energy-efficient operation based on the use of state-of-the-art IT technologies. By 2024, the range of storage and computing capacities in particular will be greatly expanded in order to be able to meet the highest requirements for training AI models in the future.
Clinical medical informatics
In the field of clinical medicine, the Faculty of Medicine is supplied by the LMU university hospital's medical and information technology department, including fiber optic data connections and local, device-related computing and storage solutions for large devices, omics applications and individual workstations in evaluation areas.
The Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) will provide structured data pipelines for the integration of routine clinical data via the existing "Ecosystem Digital Health Intelligence" infrastructure, taking into account best practices in the areas of software and data engineering, data protection and data integration.
In addition to the already established exchange of data and experience with other locations, the planned creation of a Bavarian Cloud for Health Research and the Munich Medicine Alliance as part of the "Highmed Agenda Bayern" offer interesting prospects.
