The Global Academic Supercomputing Consortium (GASC) is an international collaboration created to support the use of advanced computational technologies in solving the world’s most challenging science and engineering problems.

The GASC program creates strategic alliances that build and strengthen global research and development, and promote educational collaborations in advanced computing. Prospective GASC members must demonstrate an institutional commitment to promoting information sharing and support, working collaboratively in areas involving advanced computing technologies, and using complementary strengths to take advantage of opportunities to pursue programs of mutual interest.

GASC members achieve their goals of information and knowledge sharing through regular electronic communication, virtual meetings, and joint workshops. Members then use this baseline of communication to foster joint collaborative research, development, and education projects.

The success of GASC is measured by the program’s ability to disseminate information about developments in different regions, grow and extend its memberships, foster new relationships with other academically based centers, share and extend its technological resources, and have a beneficial impact on the progress of science and engineering worldwide.
