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.
TOTAL group is the fifth largest publicly-traded integrated oil and gas company in the world and a major actor in the chemicals business, Total has operations in more than 130 countries on five continents with approximately 97,000 employees, and 2008 sales at €179.9 billion. The Company has strong R&D programs and challenges, in particular in the domain of the Earth Science for Oil & Gas Industry (Seismic, Reservoir Modeling, …). HPC, future Exaflops machines and applications, are among the most important challenges. TOTAL is largely involved in HPC developments and applications and is a strong demonstrator in testing and optimizing robust and scalable numerical software.
