Abstract: The present book accompanies the 8$^{th}$ NIC Symposium, held on February 11 and 12, 2016, at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) has a tradition of biennial meetings, the previous meeting was held on February 12 and 13, 2014. While the first seven NIC Symposia were all held in this century, the NIC builds on the tradition of its predecessor institution, the “Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum (HLRZ)”, which commenced its operation in 1987 at Jülich. Thus, for almost 30 years the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) has not only served the high performance computing needs of the scientists working at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), but also provided access to supercomputing resources, as well as the required know-how, to scientists in a broad range of disciplines all over Germany. The NIC supports research projects from a broad scientific spectrum including topics from Astrophysics, Biology and Biophysics, Chemistry, Elementary Particle Physics, Materials Science, Condensed Matter, Soft Matter Science, Earth and Environment, Computer Science and Numerical Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics, and Plasma Physics. The selection of projects presented in this book can only give a small but representative sample of them. As can be seen from the table of contents, all basic fields of the natural sciences profit from access to supercomputers. One will also note from a look at the presented projects that some of them belong to the field of engineering or have at least a strong motivation from applications. The High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure in Germany is organised in the socalled “HPC pyramid”, which has three layers named tier-1, tier-2, and tier-3, respectively.
