  1. DEISA : perspectives • Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications • Initiative conducted by European national HPC centres in partnership with technology provider organizations, user groups in science and technology, R&D grid projects, etc. • Main purpose : deploy and operate a production quality, distributed supercomputing facility (the European analog of TeraGrid) • European FP6 Integrated Project in preparation : • 148 32-way IBM pSeries 690 nodes ( more than 20 Tf) already installed or commited for 2003 by national research organizations • Funding required to provide dedicated network interconnect and auxiliary infrastructures, as well as support for operations, high lever services to users, technology transfer actions and grid R&D

  2. DEISA partners Full partners : national HPC Centres : • RZG, Max Planck Society, Garching , Germany • FRZ, Julich, Germany • EPCC (HPCX UK project), Edimburgh, UK • CSCS, Manno and ETH, Switzerland • CINECA, Bologne, Italy • CSC, Helsinki, Finland • IDRIS, Orsay, France • Technology partners : • IBM Europe - USA • CEPBA, Barcelone, Spain • Others (network providers, …) • Associate partners : for the extended project.

  3. DEISA: project structure • Core project : • Building and operating a production quality distributed facility, by providing single system image of homogeneous supercluster as well as global data managment at a continental scale. • Major focus is impact on European computational science. • Restricted to a fixed number of full partners. Builds on pre-existing infrastructures independently deployed by each national organization • Extended project : • Interface the distributed terascale facility with the complementary high-end systems and servers of all kinds that populate the European IT systems for science and technology (heterogeneous grid) • The extended project is carried with associate partners (scientific and industrial virtual organizations, technology providers) • Cooperation with other grid R&D projects • Technology transfer from grid R&D to national and european HPC infrastructures.
