Consortium
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.
The German Research School for Simulation Sciences (GRS) is a joint venture of Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, combining the specific strengths of the two founders in the fields of science, engineering, and high-performance computing in a unique synergistic way. Located in dedicated modern facilities on the Aachen and Jülich campuses and equipped with privileged access to world-class computing and visualisation resources, the school is committed to research and education in the applications and methods of HPC-based computer simulation in science and engineering. As an essential element of its mission, the school provides a Master's and a doctoral program designed to train the next generation of computational scientists and engineers.
Affiliated with the computer science department of RWTH Aachen University, the Laboratory for Parallel Programming, one of the school's four research divisions, specialises in tools that support simulation scientists in exploiting parallelism at massive scales. One of its key projects is Scalasca, a scalable performance–analysis tool, which it develops in cooperation with the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. In EESI2, GRS will lead Task 4.2 “Scientific software engineering, software eco-system, and programmability”.
