Project Goal
Providing a high-performance IT infrastructure to support groundbreaking research in molecular information processing in the brain.
Requirements
To study molecular mechanisms such as sound amplification in the inner ear and electrical communication between neurons, the research center required an IT solution that:
- Processes large volumes of data
- Enables high-precision simulations at the atomic level
- Delivers maximum computing power for complex analyses
This research is comparable to decoding a film frame by frame—every single atom must be simulated and analyzed to fully understand the fundamental processes of information processing in the brain.
Project Implementation
The Custom Server Solutions team at Memorysolution delivered and integrated a tailored HPC solution, consisting of:
- 4x Supermicro SuperServer 741GE-TNRT
- Each equipped with 2x Intel Xeon Gold CPUs (32 cores) for maximum computing power
- 256 GB DDR5 RAM for fast data processing
- 4x NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada GPUs for simulation-based image analysis
These systems now form a dedicated HPC partition within the Jülich research cluster, providing top-tier computational performance for molecular and neural simulations.



The Result
With this high-performance and specialized HPC infrastructure, Forschungszentrum Jülich can:
- Precisely simulate and analyze molecular processes
- Investigate complex neural information processing at the atomic level
- Efficiently process and store large amounts of data
The implemented solution ensures that the research center continues to achieve groundbreaking insights into the molecular foundations of brain function.
This project highlights Memorysolution’s expertise in delivering customized high-performance computing solutions for demanding scientific research.
