About Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) e.V.

The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) combines the three national supercomputing centres HLRS (High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart), JSC (Jülich Supercomputing Centre), and LRZ (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Garching near Munich) into Germany’s Tier-0 supercomputing institution. Concertedly, the three centres provide the largest and most powerful supercomputing infrastructure in all of Europe to serve a wide range of industrial and research activities in various disciplines. They also provide top-class training and education for the national as well as the European High Performance Computing (HPC) community.

GCS is jointly funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space and the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. It has its headquarters in Berlin/Germany. www.gauss-centre.eu

Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart

HLRS was established in 1996 as Germany’s first national high-performance computing (HPC) center. It provides access to supercomputing for science, industry, and the public sector, supporting computationally intensive simulation projects. As a central unit of the University of Stuttgart and a founding member of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing, HLRS enables large-scale computational research not only in the Stuttgart region, but also for researchers across Germany and Europe.
