The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre ((イタリア語:Centro Svizzero di Calcolo Scientifico); CSCS) is the national high-performance computing centre of Switzerland. It was founded in Manno, canton Ticino, in 1991.〔(''ETH History: Swiss Scientific Computing Center, Manno (CSCS)'' ). Last accessed 13 August 2012〕 In March 2012, the CSCS moved to its new location in Lugano-Cornaredo.〔(''CSCS moves into new computer centre in Lugano'' ). CSCS news of 12 March 2012. Last accessed 9 August 2012〕 The main function of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre is a so-called National User Lab. It is open to all Swiss researchers and their assistants, who can get free access to CSCS' supercomputers in a competitive scientific evaluation process. In addition, the centre operates dedicated computing facilities for specific research projects and national mandates, e.g. weather forecasting. It is the national competence centre for high-performance computing and serves as a technology platform for Swiss research in computational science.〔(''Factsheet: CSCS - driving innovation in computational research in Switzerland'' ). Last accessed 9 August 2012〕 CSCS is an autonomous unit of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) and closely collaborates with the local University of Lugano (USI). == Building ==
The building at the new location Lugano-Cornaredo has a pillar-free machine hall of 2000 m² and can be powered with up to 20 MW electricity. Water for cooling the supercomputers is taken from Lake Lugano in 45m depth and pumped over a distance of 2.8 km to the centre. Thus, little energy is consumed for providing the cooling and the computer centre achieves a high energy efficiency with a PUE < 1.25.〔(''Factsheet: Innovative new building for CSCS in Lugano'' ).
