The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern, Germany, is one of thirteen partners from six European countries which are involved in the ExaNoDe (European Exascale Processor Memory Node Design) project.

The Stifterverband Science Prize is awarded for scientific excellence in applied research projects conducted by Fraunhofer Institutes in collaboration with industry and/or other research organizations. Now this prize is given to a group of researchers from Fraunhofer ITWM.

In computer aided vehicle engineering, you need accurate data on various environmental influences. This is the only way developers can conduct tests that simulate the experience of a real car. At the Hannover Messe, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute are presenting a quick and inexpensive system that collects real data at normal driving speeds and processes this data in real time as fine-grained and coarse-grained data for 3D driving simulations.

As our world turns more complex every day, the requirements concerning the next generation of supercomputers demand IT-solutions that are capable of high volume calculations. So-called Exascale computers have the capability to transform our understanding of the world through advanced simulation and problem solving. They can help to move, process and manage unprecedented volumes of data concerning many areas of our lives including climate change, drug design, energy safety, national security, material science, medicine.
