GCS Call 2025-2 for Large-Scale Projects Now Open (Call 34)
11/Newsflash –
The three centres that comprise the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS)—the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), and Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ)—provide scientists and engineers computing power and services of the highest performance class. The long-running large-scale call (LSC) allocation program is the primary way for users to get access to our world-class high-performance computing (HPC) resources. This week, GCS opened the call for proposals for the 34th LSC. Scientists can now apply for computing time from July 7th to August 11th 2025, 17:00 o’clock CEST.
GCS Large-Scale Projects are characterized by projects that require a large amount of computing time, meaning a minimum of 2 percent of a system’s annual production in terms of estimated availability, over a period of 12 months. Researchers at German universities and publicly funded German research institutions are eligible to apply.
Interested researchers can apply to gain access to GCS’ leading HPC systems:
High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS): Hunter
Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC): JUPITER/JUWELS
Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Garching (LRZ): SuperMUC-NG
For further details on how to apply for computing time or to learn more about the technical details of the three GCS HPC systems, please visit the HPC Access page.
All GCS HPC systems are jointly funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space with 50 percent contributed by the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and North Rhine-Westphalia respectively.

About GCS Large-Scale Projects: All large-scale projects go through a competitive review and resource allocation process established by the GCS. A "Call for Large-Scale Projects" is published by the Gauss Centre twice a year. Deadlines for calls are usually at the end of winter and at the end of summer of each year. An overview of the approved GCS Large-Scale Projects is available at gauss-centre.eu/results/large-scale-projects/.
