Billions of people use the internet every day, producing nonillions of bytes of data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to obtain structured findings from these huge volumes of data. In particular, this benefits companies that need to make business-critical decisions based on data.

Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is the coldest capital city in the world. During the long winter season, lasting about seven months, temperatures of minus 30 °C are considered normal – which means constant heating is required for homes.

140,000 processing cores, the very latest generation of high-tech features, and compact enough to fit inside a squash court – Paderborn University is getting a new supercomputer.

Time is running out. In order for universities – and students in particular – to get back to “normal,” they need planning security. Currently, this can only be achieved by ensuring as much vaccine coverage as possible for members of the university, especially the students.

Researchers from TRR 266 “Accounting for Transparency” at Paderborn University and LMU Munich offered a first look at the data from their third worldwide survey on tax complexity, carried out in 2020. Once again the data confirms what the previous studies (2018 and 2016) showed: the general level of tax complexity has increased worldwide in the last two years.

In collaboration with colleagues from the University of Münster, the Technische Universität Berlin and the Tor Vergata University of Rome in Italy, physicists from Paderborn University have succeeded in depositing ultra-thin organic layers on the semiconductor material silicon with atomic precision.

The international IT symposium “Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies” (HEART) will be held online this year, from June 21 to 23. The forum will explore the latest research findings on computer systems and methods in the context of hardware-accelerated high-performance computing (HPC).
