IDAF: Interdisciplinary Data and Analysis Facility¶

The IDAF (Interdisciplinary Data and Analysis Facility) is an Helmholtz LK II facility. It is located at DESY, and serves computational needs for communities in the MATTER program.

The IDAF consists of three parts:

• Maxwell HPC
• NAF (National Analysis Facility)
