Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)

The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich operates one of the most powerful supercomputer infrastructures in Europe and hosts the first European Exascale supercomputer JUPITER. In funded projects and co-operations, the centre drives developments towards modular Exascale systems and tackles the challenges associated with scaling up applications for next-gen supercomputers. Furthermore, JSC conducts quantum computing research and provides access to cutting-edge quantum systems through the Jülich Unified Infrastructure for Quantum computing (JUNIQ).

The centre also offers higher education for bachelor, master and doctoral students in close cooperation with neighbouring universities, thereby fostering the next generation of scientific leaders. JSC is committed to enabling scientists and engineers to solve highly complex, grand challenges of our society with the help of supercomputing as well as collaborative data and compute infrastructures. Staff and users together develop algorithms in domain-specific Simulation and Data Laboratories. These innovations are ultimately used in earth system science, neuroscience, energy and materials science as well as computational biology applications. In the realm of computer science, JSC researchers focus on modular supercomputing, cluster computing, performance analysis of applications, visualization, computational steering and federated infrastructures. Also, JSC experts carry out research on mathematical methods and models, as well as their parallel implementations. JSC‘s research is performed through collaborative infrastructures, exploiting extreme-scale supercomputing, AI at scale, quantum computing, cloud and federated data services. To support users on the supercomputer systems, JSC applies its expertise in the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data science in general.
