The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) combines the three national supercomputing centres HLRS (High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart), JSC (Jülich Supercomputing Centre), and LRZ (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Garching near Munich) into Germany’s Tier-0 supercomputing institution. Each GCS member centre host supercomputers well beyond the 1 Petaflops performance mark.〔1 Petaflops = 1 quadrillion floating point operations per second''〕 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.〔''High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering 2010'' by Wolfgang E. Nagel ISBN 3-642-15747-5 page vii ()〕 They also provide top-class training and education for the national as well as the European High Performance Computing (HPC) community. 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 (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research ) and the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. GCS has its headquarters in Berlin, Germany. ==See also== *TOP500 *High Performance Computing Center, Stuttgart *Supercomputing in Europe * eScience 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gauss Centre for Supercomputing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
