Just before the European HPC community meets in Dublin for the PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference 2015, the spotlight has fallen on German supercomputing with several announcements about European-wide research which Germany’s Gauss Centre for Supercomputing enables.

The GCS, a hosting member of the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE), is supporting 14 scientific research projects from eight European countries resulting from the tenth call for proposals from Prace.

This research represents a total of 246.93 million core hours of computing time on GCS supercomputers: Hornet which is located at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS); and SuperMUC located at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Garching/Munich.Eight of the 14 projects assigned to GCS resources will be served by Hornet, with the research spread across a total of 176.8 million core hours of compute time. The LRZ system, SuperMUC, will support six projects from the tenth PRACE call with a total of 70.1 million core hours.
