  1. PRACE PRACE: Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe SCOPE: Establish a permanent Research Infrastructure to provide first class high performance computer resources for Europe

  2. First class computer resources = Tier-0 • Tier-0: Inter-European (above national) centres • Tier-1: National centres • Tier-2: Regional/local centres • Tier-0 today ~ 1 Petaflop/s • Top 500: http://www.top500.org/list/2010/06/100

  3. Links PRACE web site http://www.prace-project.eu/ CORDIS http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/projects_en.html • PRACE started 1/1/08 for 24 months. Pre-project: setting up the organisation • PRACE-1IP started 1/7/10 for 24 months 1st Implementation Phase

  4. PRACE (pre-)project (1/1/08-31/12/09) Setting up the PRACE research infrastructure • Organisational aspects: defining the legal form, the governance structure, the peer review system,… • Dissemination, outreach and training; relations with industry. • Technical management, deployment of prototypes. • Software enabling for Pflop/s systems, application requirements, benchmark suite. • Identify architectures of first production Pflop/s system(s) 2009-2010, prepare deployment. • Pflop/s computer technologies beyond 2010.

  5. PRACE legal form • The PRACE RI is an international non-profit association with its seat in Brussels. The association is named ‘Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe AISBL’ and has 20 members. • A.I.S.B.L. : Association internationale sans but lucrative • Hosting partners (for now) • GCS (Germany), GENCI (France), CINECA (Italy), BSC (Spain) • Financing: 100 million euros per hosting partner • Machines • JUGENE
