The current flagship systems of the VSC family are VSC-4 and VSC-5, currently the fastest supercomputers in Austria. Both systems are powering science and research at the leading academic institutions in Austria and fulfil the demand for high computing power in the areas such as physics, chemistry, meteorology and life sciences.
