The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe
prepares the creation of a persistent pan-European HPC service,
consisting several tier-0 centres providing European researchers
with access to capability computers and forming the top level of
the European HPC ecosystem. PRACE is a project funded in part by
the EU's 7th Framework Programme
Supercomputers are indispensable tools for solving
the most challenging and complex scientific and technological
problems through simulations. To remain internationally
competitive, European scientists and engineers must be provided
with leadership-class supercomputer systems. PRACE, the Partnership
for Advanced Computing in Europe will create a persistent
pan-European high performance computing (HPC) service and
infrastructure. This infrastructure will be managed as a single
European entity. European scientists and technologists will be
provided world-class leadership supercomputers with capabilities
equal to or better than those available in the USA and Japan. The
service will comprise three to five superior HPC centers
strengthened by regional and national supercomputing centers
working in tight collaboration through grid technologies. In other
words, the partnership will become a unique entity of the
pan-European HPC ecosystem. |
