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.
CERFACS (FR) Centre Européen de Recherche et de Formation Avancée en Calcul Scientifique (European Centre for Research and Advanced Training in Scientific Computing) is a research organization that aims to develop advanced methods for the numerical simulation and the algorithmic solution of large scientific and technological problems of interest for research as well as industry, and that requires access to the most powerful computers presently available. CERFACS hosts interdisciplinary teams, both for research and advanced training that are comprised of: physicists, applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, and software engineers. Approximately 120 people work at CERFACS, including more than 100 researchers and engineers, coming from 10 different countries. They work on specific projects in seven main research areas: parallel algorithms, code coupling, aerodynamics, combustion, climate and environment, data assimilation, and electromagnetism.
Jean Claude André, Director of CERFACS since 1995. He was previously the Head of Research at Météo-France.
