KIT's Scientific Computing Center operates large-scale facilities for scientific high-performance computing and data-intensive sciences within the framework of secure IT federations. This modern parallel supercomputers such as the "High-performance computer Karlsruhe" (HoreKa), other cluster systems and development platforms for different user groups. In November 2020, the SCC was selected as a center for National High Performance Computing (NHR).

Information about the services and systems related to scientific computing are listed below.
