Computing Time at GCS

The GCS offers a highest-level computing and networking infrastructure. A new IBM iDataPlex system called SuperMUC with 3 PetaFlop/s peak performance is expected to be available for large-scale projects at LRZ by August 2012. HLRS recently opened the user operation on the first installation step of HERMIT based on CRAY XE6 with AMD Interlagos and Gemini Interconnect with more than 1 PetaFlop/s peak performance. At JSC a 72 rack IBM Blue Gene/P system with 1 PetaFlop/s peak performance is available for highly scalable application codes. The architectures of these machines are complementary and can accommodate a broad spectrum of applications. The systems within the GCS are continuously upgraded in a round robin fashion.

Users are encouraged to choose a centre that provides the architecture and software most appropriate for their programs.
