High Performance Computing (HPC) systems are
crucial resources for research and development |
|
Users want to focus on their science rather than
becoming HPC specialists |
|
Operation of HPC systems requires specialised
centres |
|
European HPC centres offer a variety of HPC
architectures from different vendors with frequent innovation |
|
European HPC centres and users are connected by
high-bandwidth networks |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build a European Grid infrastructure |
|
that gives users |
|
a seamless, secure access to |
|
High
Performance Computing resources |
|
and that advances computational science |
|
in Europe |
|
|
|
|
Support the e-Science concept |
|
|
|
Integrate resources of leading European HPC
centres into a European HPC GRID |
|
|
|
Develop new software components for GRID
computing |
|
|
|
Demonstrate the ASP model for HPC access (‘HPC
portal‘) |
