Please save the call closing date. Dear Madam/Sir The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) provides computing power and services of the highest performance class for computational sciences and engineering at its three member sites in Garching (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, LRZ), Jülich (Jülich Supercomputing Centre, JSC), and Stuttgart (High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, HLRS). Projects are classified as “Large-Scale”, if they request

= 25,000 Hunter-node-hours per year on Hunter or = 45 million core-hours per year on SuperMUC-NG Phase 1 or = 140,000 GPU-h per year on SuperMUC-NG Phase 2 or = 5250x10^18 FLOP per year on JUWELS Cluster

For these large-scale projects, a competitive review and resource allocation process is established by the GCS. A "Call for Large-Scale Projects" is published by GCS twice a year. For details, see: https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/GCS-LS-Call/GaussCall.pdf The current call 2026-1 will be open January 12th to February 9th 2026, 17:00 CET (strict deadline). The current call covers the period from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027. Eligible for applications are members of German universities and publicly funded German research institutions, e.g., Max-Planck Society, and Helmholtz Association. Applications for large-scale projects must be submitted electronically via the GCS-JARDS form at https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/gcshome/application/ All important information with respect to the application procedure is presented here: HUNTER: https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/FactSheets/FactSheet-GCS-HUNTER.pd... https://www.gauss-centre.eu/for-users/hpc-access/instructions-for-hunter JUPITER/JUWELS: https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/FactSheets/FactSheet-GCS-NIC-JUPIT... https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/FactSheets/FactSheet-GCS-NIC-JUWEL... https://www.gauss-centre.eu/for-users/hpc-access/instructions-for-juwels SUPERMUC-NG: https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/FactSheets/FactSheet-GCS-SUPERMUC-... https://www.gauss-centre.eu/for-users/hpc-access/instructions-for-supermuc-n...
