1 A platform for research, training and development Nicolas Ferré 2013, April 10th

2 High Performance Computing (HPC) Le calcul intensif et son écosystème (moyens de calcul, de communication et de stockage, traitement et exploitation des données...) sont au c ur de la plupart des avancées de la recherche au sein du CNRS comme dans l'ensemble de la communauté scientique. Les enjeux ne sont pas seulement scientiques mais aussi sociétaux, économiques, nanciers et éthiques. Alain Fuchs, livre blanc du Calcul Intensif, CNRS, 2012 Pyramidal organization of HPC in Europe Tier 0 = Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe The mission of PRACE is to enable high impact scientic discovery and engineering research and development across all disciplines to enhance European competitiveness for the benet of society.

Les enjeux ne sont pas seulement scientiques mais aussi sociétaux, économiques, nanciers et éthiques.

3 HPC in France Tier 1: Grand Equipement National de Calcul Intensif (GENCI, France). 3 national centers, >600 millions CPUh in 2013 Tier 2 in regions: the mésocentres No eective structure before 2011 Some well developed local projects (Calmip in Toulouse, Ciment in Grenoble, HPC@LR in Montpellier) Main tasks: help to develop new and ecient numerical methods What about Aix-Marseille?
