      abstract     = {Over the last 10 years the proceedings of the biennial
                      NIC-Symposia have given a fascinating account of
                      supercomputer based research at its best. At the John von
                      Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) computing time has
                      always been granted according to peer reviews of the project
                      proposals, provided by an internationally composed peer
                      review board. A second peer review of the project results
                      obtained in a two years period leads to the selection
                      presented in the proceedings. This well tried procedure has
                      been adopted by the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS),
                      an alliance of the three German national supercomputing
                      centres in Jülich, Garching and Stuttgart. By coordinating
                      their interests, the GCS was able to acquire the first
                      European computer with a peak performance exceeding 1
                      PetaFlop/s. It was installed by the Jülich Supercomputer
                      Centre JSC in 2009 and dubbed JUGENE (an allusion to Jülich
                      IBM Blue Gene/P). As a consequence, the NIC peer review
                      board at its fall meeting in 2009 was expanded by delegates
                      from the GCS-institutions, and decided about computing time
                      allocation on the GCS-computer JUGENE as well as on the
                      NIC-computer JUROPA (replacement for JUMP). These machines
                      hold rank 4 respectively rank 13 on the Top 500 list of the
                      world’s most powerful computers. The expanded peer review
                      board selected projects with particular demands of compute
                      power as $\textit{Gauss projects}$. This large-scale project
                      status has been given to projects by Jansen and Peters,
                      presented in this volume, and on the recent meeting to
                      Fodor, Schierholz, Katz and Harting. The formation of an
                      internationally competitive European supercomputing
                      infrastructure is the goal of the European consortium PRACE
                      (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), the German
                      member of which is the GCS. In this context new modes of
                      computing time allocation on the European level are at the
                      horizon. Hopefully the peer review procedure of the NIC will
                      serve as a model there, too. Only the quality of a research
                      proposal should matter, and the research communities should
                      compete freely among each other with their demands for
                      computing power rather than being regulated by quota. [...]},
