About Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)

JSC at Forschungszentrum Jülich has operated the first German supercomputing centre since 1987. JSC operates one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, JUQUEEN. About 200 experts and contacts for all aspects of supercomputing and simulation sciences work at JSC. JSC’s research and development concentrates on mathematical modelling and numerical, especially parallel algorithms for quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo simulations. The focus in the computer sciences is on cluster computing, performance analysis of parallel programs, visualization, computational steering and grid computing. As a member of the German Gauss Centre for Supercomputing, JSC has coordinated the construction of the European research infrastructure PRACE – Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe since 2008.
