Gauss Centre for Supercomputing
The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) coordinates Germany's three national Tier-0 supercomputing facilities: the HLRS in Stuttgart, the JSC at Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the LRZ in Garching near Munich.[1] Together, the member institutions provide high-performance computing infrastructure and technical training for academic, scientific, and industrial research in Germany and across Europe.[2]
GCS is the German member of PRACE (Partnership for Advance Computing in Europe), 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 Federal Ministry of Education and Research[3] and the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.
GCS has its headquarters in Berlin, Germany.
