Bilateral Contracts with Industry

In the context of the Mumps consortium (http://mumps-consortium.org ):

• We have signed three new membership agreements, with ESI-Group, Siemens SISW (Belgium) and TOTAL in 2015, on top of the on-going agreements signed in 2014 with Altair, EDF, LSTC, Michelin.

• We have organized point-to-point meetings with several members.

• We have provided technical support and scientific advice to members.

• We have provided non-public releases in advance to members, with a specific licence.

• We have organized the first consortium committee meeting, at EDF (Clamart).

• Two engineers have been funded by the membership fees, for software engineering and software development, comparison with other solvers, business development and management of the consortium.

Following a strong interest from EMGS (Norway) in the latest evolutions of Mumps (see Section  6.1 ) we worked on the third and final phase of a contract related to low-rank compression for electromagnetics applications in geophysics; the contract was managed by INP Toulouse.
