  6. Three pillars of the PRACE Mission HPC for Industry Guaranteeing in Europe the independent access to HPC-competence for industry HPC for Science Implement the ESFRI vision of a European HPC-service at the top of an HPC provisioning pyramid HPC by Vendors Helping European (hard- & software) vendors to foster their technology and HPC-competence

  7. Realizing the ESFRI Vision for an HPC RI • European HPC-facilities at the top of anHPC provisioning pyramid • Tier-0: European Centres for Petaflop/s • Tier-1: National Centres • Tier-2: Regional/University Centres • Creation of a European HPC ecosystem • HPC service providers on all tiers • Scientific and industrial user communities • The European HPC hard- and software industry • Other e-Infrastructures Tier-0 European centres capability Tier-1 National centres # of systems Tier-2 Regional/Universitycentres 8

  24. How can you take advantage of the system • Open calls and peer-review procedure similar to PRACE • Early-access • Preparatory and Regular Access • Establishment of a review committees • Official procedures to be defined in the coming months

  25. What’s next • Future expansions of the system • GPUs / accelerators • Fat nodes (more cores and memory per box). Better support for shared memory applications. • More storage • Expansions already been taken into account in order to make sure that the hosting infrastructure will be able to support them.
