The center was founded in the year 2003 and is supported by the “Bremer Senatorin für Umwelt, Klima und Wissenschaft”.

BremHLR provides support to scientists in scientific computing on the supercomputer systems of the German national high-performance computing alliance (NHR), in particular for the two systems NHR@ZIB and NHR-Nord@Göttingen in northern Germany, as well as other national computing centers, like the John von Neumann Insitute for Computing (NIC) in at the Research Center Jülich. The branch Scientific Computing coordinates the consulting in high performance computing for the federal state of Bremen, which is conducted by consultants from participating centers (ZARM/UB, CLAMV/CU as well as the Computing Centre of AWI). In addition, user workshops and user training courses on high-performance computing are coordinated and organized.
