>The Jülich Supercomputing Centre, which is near Munich, will host the system.

Interesting take on geography .

The confusion, pobably has to do with the fact that the German tier 0 Gauss super computing center is actually spread over 3 sites (Jülich near Cologne/Aachen, Stuttgart and Garching near Munich)

Stuttgart and Garching near Munich

This reads weird. It took me way too many seconds of wondering "wouldn't Stuttgart be nearer to... Stuttgart?" before I understood what you wrote. Sometimes the Oxford Comma has value, it seems.

The name of the city is “Garching bei München” which translates to “Garching near Munich”. This disambiguates it from „Garching an der Alz“. (Although Jülich is just called Jülich.)
