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 School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh is an expanding department with currently over 50 academic staff, 13 postdoctoral researchers and 65 research student. The School has research groups in Algebra and Number Theory, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Geometry and Topology, Mathematical Physics, Probability and Stochastic Analysis, Statistics, and Operational Research. Of these the Operational Research, Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics groups have strong interests in High Performance Computing.
The research activities in mathematics of the School are grouped with those of Heriot-Watt University through the Maxwell Institute. The 80 or so research-active staff of the Institute make Edinburgh a highly active centre for research in mathematics, with numerous graduate courses, seminars, conferences and workshops, and a dynamic visitor programme. Close links with the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences further strengthen the research environment.
