The EESI project consortium has been designed to represent a cross-section of European and international key actors in the field of HPC. The partnership has a deep and broad expertise in all the technological and strategic aspects related to HPC.
The consortium is composed of:
- 2 contractual partners: TOTAL & PRACE
- 29 organizations which act as chairs and vice chairs of Work Packages and tasks
- Around 100 experts who contribute through the project tasks and working groups.
GENCI is an agency in charge of defining the French strategy in HPC for civil research. GENCI is a "société civile" with five partners: French Ministry of Research, CEA, CNRS, French universities represented by the CPU “Conférence des Présidents d’Universités” (with the Universities Computing Centre, CINES) and INRIA.
Created in January 2007, GENCI has had the following mission:
