The Rechenzentrum Garching (RZG) originated as the computing centre of the Max Planck Institute for Plasmaphysics (IPP) which was founded in 1960 by Werner Heisenberg and the Max Planck Society. Already in 1962 an IBM 7090 system was operated, the most powerful data processing system those days, designed for "large-scale scientific and technological applications".

As a joint computing centre of the IPP and the Max Planck Society, RZG offers services for Max Planck Institutes all over Germany. Since over four decades now key tasks provided by the RZG include: Supercomputing, data management/mass storage, and data acquisition.
