How to use the HPI Future SOC Lab

The Lab provides researchers with free of charge access to a complete infrastructure of state of the art hardware and software. This infrastructure includes components, which might be too expensive for an ordinary research environment. The offerings address researchers particularly from but not limited to the areas of computer science and business information systems. Main areas of research include cloud computing, parallelization, and In-Memory technologies. 

To simplify the start with this heterogenous IT landscape, we are offering short tutorial videos. In case of questions, have a look on our website, post a question in the forum or contact us at futuresoc-lab@hpi.de.

Course information

The HPI Future SOC (Service-Oriented Computing) Lab is a cooperation of the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) and the industry partners Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Dell EMC, Fujitsu, and SAP. Its mission is to enable and promote exchange and interaction between the research community and the industry partners.

We look forward to an active participation in Diskussionsforum in order to work out more detailed questions together.

The videos are about the first steps and frequently asked questions:

  • What is the HPI Future SOC Lab?
  • Which hardware do we have?
  • What are key projects?
  • What are the projects steps and expectations?
  • Connection via VPN (OpenVPN, Viscosity, Tunnelblick)
  • Password reset of the HPI Future SOC Lab account
  • Use of home directory and playground
