  3. DKRZ - a German HPCC • Mission of DKRZ • DKRZ and its Organization • DKRZ Services • Model and Data Services CAS2003, Annecy, France, WFS

  4. Mission of DKRZ In 1987 DKRZ was founded with the Mission to • Provide state-of-the-art supercomputing and data service to the German scientific community to conduct top of the line Earth System and Climate Modelling. • Provide associated services including high level visualization. CAS2003, Annecy, France, WFS

  5. DKRZ and its Organization (1) Deutsches KlimaRechenZentrum = DKRZ German Climate Computer Center • organised under private law (GmbH) with 4 shareholders • investments funded by federal government,operationsfunded by shareholders • usage 50 % shareholders and 50 % community CAS2003, Annecy, France, WFS

  6. DKRZ and its Organization (2) DKRZ internal Structure • 3 departments for • systems and networks • visualisation and consulting • administration • 20 staff in total • until restructuring end of 1999 a fourth department supported climate model applications and climate data management CAS2003, Annecy, France, WFS
