      abstract     = {As part of a well-established and very useful tradition,
                      the John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) has been
                      holding NIC Symposia biennially since 2001 in order to
                      present highlights of the research that is only possible by
                      using extensively the resources provided by the NIC and the
                      Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). In June 2013, the
                      massively parallel machine JUQUEEN of the JSC, which
                      contains almost half a million processors, reached the
                      status of “No. 1 in Europe” on the “TOP 500” list of
                      supercomputers. However, the main achievement of the JSC is
                      not just an excellent score in this type of ranking, but the
                      fact that the excellent hardware performance actually does
                      enable really outstanding research of the highest quality in
                      research fields encompassing astrophysics, computational
                      biology and biophysics, chemistry, elementary particle
                      physics, materials science, condensed matter, computational
                      soft matter science, earth and environment, computer science
                      and numerical mathematics, fluid mechanics and plasma
                      physics. There are several ingredients which all play a
                      pivotal role to continuously maintain the top standard of
                      supercomputer based research at the NIC/JSC. In particular,
                      the user-friendly and very helpful staff of the JSC provides
                      fast and easy access to the machines and creates ample
                      opportunities for well-targeted training. One must keep in
                      mind that many of the computational codes (which often are
                      based on code developments extending over decades and hence
                      sometimes are very complex and sophisticated) are not
                      immediately suited for a massively parallel computer
                      architecture. In some cases the training and advice provided
                      by the JSC staff allows an adaptation of these codes. In
                      many cases the scientific problem is intrinsically in
                      conflict with a massively parallel execution of the code,
                      however: for these problems it is of crucial importance that
                      the JSC has a dual hardware strategy, providing with the
                      system JUROPA (which has a cluster architecture with faster,
                      but less energy efficient, processors and only moderate
                      parallelism) a “general purpose supercomputer”. This
                      indeed has served the needs of about $90\%$ of all the
                      (several hundred!) research projects, that were carried out
                      at the JSC in the two years since the last NIC symposium.},
