Gauss Centre for Supercomputing
The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing combines the three national supercomputing centres HLRS, JSC, and LRZ into Germany’s Tier-0 supercomputing institution. Each GCS member centre host supercomputers well beyond the 1 Petaflops performance mark. 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 community.
GCS is the German member of PRACE, an international non-profit association consisting of 25 member countries, whose representative organizations create a pan-European supercomputing infrastructure, providing access to computing and data management resources and services for large-scale scientific and engineering applications at the highest performance level.
GCS is jointly funded by the and the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.
