JuSPARC - The Jülich Short-Pulsed Particle and Radiation Center
Full text linkJuSPARC, the Jülich Short-Pulsed Particle and Radiation Center, is a laser-driven facility to enable research with short-pulsed photon and particle beams to be performed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. The conceptual design of JuSPARC is determined by a set of state-of-the-art time-resolved instruments, which are designed to address the electronic, spin, and structural states of matter and their dynamic behaviour. From these instruments and experiments JuSPARC derives the need of operating several dedicated high pulse-power laser systems at highest possible repetition rates. They serve as core units for optimized photon up-conversion techniques generating the light pulses for the respective experiments. The applications also include experiments with spin polarized particle beams, which require the use of laser-based polarized gas targets. Thus, in its rst stage JuSPARC comprises four driving laser systems, called JuSPARC_VEGA, JuSPARC_DENEB, JuSPARC_SIRIUS and JuSPARC_MIRA, which are outlined in this article
JUWELS: Modular Tier-0/1 Supercomputer at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre
Full text linkJUWELS is a multi-petaflop modular supercomputer operated by Jülich Supercomputing Centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich as a European and national supercomputing resource for the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing. In addition, JUWELS serves the Earth system modeling community within the Helmholtz Association. The first module deployed in 2018, is a Cluster module based on the BullSequana X1000 architecture with Intel Xeon Skylake-SP processors and Mellanox EDR InfiniBand. An extension by a second Booster module is scheduled for deployment in 2020
HDF Cloud – Helmholtz Data Federation Cloud Resources at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre
Full text linkThe HDF Cloud is an OpenStack based infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) environment operated by Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. It has been installed predominantly to support challenging data use cases within the Helmholtz Association’s strategic initiative Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF). To this end, it has been connected to one of the central storage resources of JSC, the DATA file system that is also available on the high-performance computing systems
JUST: Large-Scale Multi-Tier Storage Infrastructure at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre
Full text linkJUST is a versatile storage infrastructure operated by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The system provides high-performance and high-capacity storage resources for the supercomputer facility. Recently, additional storage and management services, addressing demands beyond the high-performance computing area, have been added. In support of its mission, JUST consists of multiple storage tiers with different performance and functional characteristics to cover the entire data lifecycle
The High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Göttingen of the German Aerospace Center (DLR)
Full text linkThe High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Göttingen (HEG) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is one of the major European hypersonic test facilities. It was commissioned for use in 1991 and was utilized since then extensively in a large number of national and international space and hypersonic flight projects. Originally, the facility was designed for the investigation of the influence of high temperature effects such as chemical and thermal relaxation on the aerothermodynamics of entry or re-entry space vehicles. Over the last years its range of operating conditions was subsequently extended. In this framework the main emphasis was to generate test conditions which allow investigating the flow past hypersonic flight configuration from low altitude Mach 6 up to Mach 10 in approximately 33 km altitude. The studies performed in HEG focused on the external as well as internal aerodynamics including combustion of hydrogen in supersonic combustion and the investigation of transition from laminar to turbulent hypersonic flow
The UE46 PGM-1 beamline at BESSY II
Full text linkThe UE46 PGM-1 undulator beamline at the BESSY II storage ring provides soft x-rays of tunable polarization, linear and circular. With two permanent endstations, a versatile XUV diffractometer and a 7-Tesla High-Field diffractometer, the setup is dedicated to both, resonant spectroscopy and scattering/diffraction
STG-ET: DLR Electric Propulsion Test Facility
Full text linkAbstract: DLR operates the High Vacuum Plume Test Facility Göttingen – Electric Thrusters (STG-ET). This electric propulsion test facility has now accumulated several years of EP-thruster testing experience. Special features tailored to electric space propulsion testing like a large vacuum chamber mounted on a low vibration foundation, a beam dump target made of low sputtering material, and a performant pumping system characterize this facility. The vacuum chamber is 12.2m long and has a diameter of 5m. With respect to accurate thruster testing, the design focus is on accurate thrust measurement, plume diagnostics, and plume interaction with spacecraft components. Electric propulsion thrusters have to run for thousands of hours, and with this the facility is prepared for long-term experiments. This paper gives an overview of the facility, and shows some details of the vacuum chamber, pumping system, diagnostics, and experiences with these components
