Forschungszentrum Jülich - JSC

Modelling and Simulation

The simulation of complex systems in natural science or engineering depends on the development of adequate mathematical models. Thus the development of realistic and yet efficient models is a core activity at JSC. Examples of simulations are:

Computational Plasma Physics
Protein Folding
Quantum Information Processing
Civil Security and Traffic

Algorithms and Methods

Efficient simulations need powerful algorithms and methods. JSC focusses on the development of the following methods:

Fast Coulomb Solvers
Parallel-In-Time Integration
Fast Multipole Method
Parallel I/O

HPC Technology

JSC meets the challenges that arise from the development of exaflop systems - the computers of the next supercomputer generation. Research and development is especially done on cluster systems, quick network connections and optimization of parallel programs.

Cluster Computing
Exascale Laboratories
HPC networking
