Join GCS and its Centers at ISC 2026!
Newsflash 10/2026 –

The Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) will once again be well-represented at this year’s International Supercomputing Conference (ISC26), which runs June 22–26 in Hamburg.

All three GCS centers—the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), and Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ)—will be participating in many parts of the conference program as well as staffing the GCS booth (#K02). Additionally, JSC staff will be at a separate stand, (#Z01) to celebrate JUPITER, Euope’s first exascale system. 

Our centers’ staffs will participate in a variety of poster presentations, birds-of-a-feather sessions, tutorials, and workshops, highlighting how GCS centers are supporting researchers in the age of exascale and the rise of artificial intelligence from scientific and technical perspectives. They aim to highlight how our centers are combining classical modeling and simulation with cutting-edge AI and quantum computing workflows to enable high-performance hybrid workflows. 

For an overview of each center’s participation, please visit their respective ISC26 web pages:

At the GCS stand, visitors can expect interesting exhibitions, exciting live demonstrations, and interactive visualizations. Among other topics, the booth has a particular focus on the continued expansion of current and future GCS computing systems and the massive potential they hold for driving new AI developments. 

Visitors will learn more about how the GCS centers are driving scientific progress across various disciplines—from climate simulations to vehicle and aerospace design. Additionally, staff will be on hand to give visitors more information about the two European-Union-funded AI factories located within GCS centers: HammerHAI, which is led and supported by HLRS and LRZ, respectively) and JAIF (coordinated by JSC). Finally, our experts will highlight how GCS centers are working with pan-European initiatives like the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, helping Europe maintain its leadership in high-performance computing.

Furthermore, we would like to invite you to the GCS Industry Reception@ISC26 on June, 24, starting at 3pm CEST (#K02), supported by HPE and NVIDIA.

Enjoy refreshments, great conversations, and networking with colleagues and partners from across the HPC ecosystem.
