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. Resources are provided on the JUWELS Cluster Module (Jülich Wizard for European Leadership Science). Its 2511 nodes are equipped with dual-socket Intel-Skylake Platinum 8168 CPUs. It will probably be decomissioned and replaced by a successor cluster system during the upcoming granting period. Granted projects will automatically be migrated to the new system. Details about the successor system and the migration process will be announced in due time. The Booster of Europe’s first exascale supercomputer JUPITER (Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research) consists of about 6000 nodes, each equipped with four NVIDIA GH200 Superchips (72 cores each, 288 cores/node, 4 NVIDIA H100, 96 GB HBM3 each). Currently, work is in progress to bring JUPITER in production. Please note, that not the full amount of resources can be offered in this call. Further information is provided in the JUPITER Fact-Sheet (s. link below). Computing time periods have a duration of one year with the possibility of applying twice a year for resources. These periods begin on 1 May and on 1 November of each year, respectively. The current call for computing time allocations opens on 12 January 2026 and you are hereby invited to apply for the upcoming period 1 May 2026 – 30 April 2027 The committees of the John von Neumann-Institute (NIC) and the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) are responsible for the comparative peer review process. The reviews of the applications are carried out by national and international experts in their respective scientific fields. Applications can be submitted between 12 January 2026 and 9 February 2026, 17:00 CET Eligible for applications are members of German universities and publicly funded German research institutions, e.g., Max-Planck Society, and Helmholtz Association. Applications for GCS Regular Projects must be submitted electronically via the GCS-JARDS form at https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/gcshome/application/ Late applications will not be considered. Further information can be found on our web page: https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/jsc/systems/supercomputers/apply-for-computing-... Moreover, all important information with respect to the application procedure is presented in the following fact sheet: JUPITER: https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/FactSheets/FactSheet-GCS-NIC-JUPIT... JUWELS: https://jards.gauss-centre.eu/PublicFiles/FactSheets/FactSheet-GCS-NIC-JUWEL... Computing time applications must not overlap, for example if a project has been granted computing time for the period 1 November 2025 – 31 October 2026 it is not possible to apply for additional computing time for this project in this call. Please note, that computing and data resources, as well as access to the JSC HPC infrastructure, are provided to the best of our ability. However, approved resources are not guaranteed. We reserve the right to limit the availability of resources if external conditions such as force majeure, obligations to save electricity, or other circumstances make this necessary. Resources lost in such cases will not be refunded. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our coordination office: coordination-office@gauss-centre.eu.
