Your infrastructure for AI research in Bavaria
BayernKI (Wissenschaft) is the central infrastructure for the State of Bavaria to advance academic AI research. It provides cutting-edge AI systems, comprehensive user support and user training.
The infrastructure is jointly operated at the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Garching (LRZ) in sustainable and energy efficient environments.
BayernKI is funded by the Hightech Agenda Bavaria (HTA) and accessible free of charge for researchers at Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences.
