The Jülich Supercomputing Centre is internationally recognised by two major features: the excellenthigh-performance computing services that it provides to the scientific community, andits ability to drive the development of cutting-edge supercomputing technology. The latter isperfectly illustrated with the supercomputer evolution experienced at JSC, with three uniquearchitecture approaches developed in the centre in slightly over a decade, namely the DualSupercomputer approach, the Cluster-Booster concept and the Modular Supercomputer architecture.They represent an evolution in the way HPC systems are built and operated, aiming atoffering real-world applications the best possible computing platform.
