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 Innovation Engineering (DII) of the University of Salento consists of a permanent staff of about 100 researchers including engineers, physicists, chemists and mathematicians. About 55 people among technicians and administrative collaborate to the research activities and about 100 young researchers, as PhD students or with temporary contracts, collaborate with the permanent staff in carrying out the research activities connected with the different research contracts. The main objectives of the DII are to develop innovative technologies, and promote the research activities in the fields of: information engineering, industrial and mechanical engineering, chemistry and material engineering, nanotechnologies, physics and engineering of electronic devices, electrical engineering and automatics. Among the DII labs, the HPC lab, led by prof. G. Aloisio, carries out research and advanced training in the field of High Performance, Grid and Exascale computing. The HPC lab research activities are strongly connected to the “Scientific Computing and Operations” (SCO) Division of CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change).
