KIT’s high-performance computing system HoreKa is being expanded with HoreKa Ruby, a powerful new partition designed for AI and machine learning applications. The new partition is powered by NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, specifically developed for data-intensive, highly scalable workloads and compute-heavy AI and machine learning tasks.

The expansion adds 12 nodes, each equipped with four NVIDIA H200 accelerators, offering 141 GB of memory per GPU.

HoreKa Ruby complements the existing HoreKa Blue, Green and Teal components and integrates seamlessly into the current infrastructure. Users benefit from cutting-edge hardware, high-speed InfiniBand connectivity, and energy-efficient cooling.

This expansion reinforces KIT’s role in national high-performance computing and is accessible to researchers across Germany through NHR∂KIT.
