Abstract
HWW (Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum für Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft GmbH) is a large german supercomputing facility, that offers it's compute resources to scientific as well as industiral users. This article reports on the applications that industrial users run on the HWW equipment and the computer architectures they use. The current situation is characterized by an increasing demand for compute resources from commercial customers which eventually led to the installation of an additional machine in march 1998. But all of this demand is still exclusively met by vector machines, wheras massively parallel machines are still being evaluated by the industrial user community.
