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 Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol was ranked fourth in the UK in the recent Complete University Guide. Funding for the department’s research comes from a variety of sources including national and European funding bodies and industrial partners, and its currently active research grant portfolio is valued at over £11m. The Microelectronics Research Group consists of 7 permanent staff, 5 research staff and 16 PhD students. Its main research theme is Energy Aware COmputing (EACO), covering all aspects of hardware and software design to radically improve system-level energy efficiency. The group contributed to the energy efficiency subtask of EESI1, helps run the Energy-Aware HPC conference, and is driving the new Energy Efficient HPC consortium (EEHPC.com) with ARM, Calxeda, the Mont Blanc FP7 project among other industrial and academic partners. The group’s role will be to lead Task 5.3, focusing on analysing the critical cross-cutting issue of power efficiency and how this can be addressed from a software point of view.
