FP7 & H2020 Projects

POP

Participant : Frédéric Suter.

  • Program: H2020 Center of Excellence

  • Project acronym: POP

  • Project title: Performance Optimisation and Productivity

  • Duration: 2015-2018

  • Coordinator: Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC)

  • Other partners: High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Numerical Algorithm Group (NAG), Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH), TERATEC (TERATEC).

  • Abstract: The Center of Excellence for Performance Optimisation and Productivity provides performance optimisation and productivity services for academic and industrial codes. European’s leading experts from the High Performance Computing field will help application developers getting a precise understanding of application and system behaviour. This project is supported by the European Commission under H2020 Grant Agreement No. 676553.

    Established codes, but especially codes never undergone any analysis or performance tuning, may profit from the expertise of the POP services which use latest state-of-the-art tools to detect and locate bottlenecks in applications, suggest possible code improvements, and may even help by Proof-of-Concept experiments and mock-up test for customer codes on their own platforms.

Collaborations in European Programs, Except FP7 & H2020

COST IC1305 : Nesus

Participants : Marcos Dias de Assunção, Laurent Lefèvre.

  • Program: COST

  • Project acronym: IC1305

  • Project title: Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (NESUS)

  • Duration: 2014-2018

  • Coordinator: Jesus Carretero (Univ. Madrid)

  • Abstract: Ultrascale systems are envisioned as large-scale complex systems joining parallel and distributed computing systems that will be two to three orders of magnitude larger that today's systems. The EU is already funding large scale computing systems research, but it is not coordinated across researchers, leading to duplications and inefficiencies. The goal of the NESUS Action is to establish an open European research network targeting sustainable solutions for ultrascale computing aiming at cross fertilization among HPC, large scale distributed systems, and big data management. The network will contribute to glue disparate researchers working across different areas and provide a meeting ground for researchers in these separate areas to exchange ideas, to identify synergies, and to pursue common activities in research topics such as sustainable software solutions (applications and system software stack), data management, energy efficiency, and resilience. In Nesus, Laurent Lefèvre is co-chairing the Working on Energy Efficiency (WG5).
