Periodic Reporting for period 2 - HPC-GIG (High Performance Computing Governance Intelligence Gathering)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2020-03-01 al 2022-08-31
• Establish an effective and responsive communication channel with the HPC Governance
• Engage all relevant stakeholders in the HPC and data ecosystem via dynamically managed ad hoc task forces
• Develop knowledge registries and consolidate networks of expertise which may already exist
• Link national and pan-European activities in the field, involving users, implementers and funders participating in the European HPC and Big Data activities
• Organise workshops for stakeholder groups and/or participating in already-existing strategic HPC events
• Create visibility and position the project within the European HPC and data ecosystem
At first, the overall objective was to facilitate the efficient and sound operation of the EuroHPC JU, which includes:
1. Managing and developing the computing and data infrastructure and services
2. Making key decisions on funding, sustainability and security
The project sets various goals across 4 sections:
1. Support for management and development of infrastructure, decision making
2. Facilitating stakeholder dialogue through events
3. Links with national and pan-European activities in the field
4. Involvement of users, implementers and funders, participating in EU funded HPC ecosystem
1. The organisation structure of the project was established. The Management Board, Technical Board and Project Management Office are operational and active
2. Support to the organisation of meetings held by representatives of EuroHPC JU
3. Set-up of a Strategic Task Force (STF) to provide input and support to EuroHPC JU from HPC stakeholders
4. Open Information Day on Acquisitions of Supercomputers by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking
5. EuroHPC Summit Week 2019
6. Workshop on EuroHPC Systems Access Policy
7. PRACE Industrial Advisory Committee & INFRAG Joint Meeting
Due to the fast development of EuroHPC JU, the gathering intelligence activities are becoming less relevant to the needs of HPC Governance. To continue to support EuroHPC JU, the project supports the organisation of the meetings of the Research and Innovation Advisory Group (RIAG) and the Infrastructure Advisory Group (INFRAG).
It is the project’s intention to participate in the next edition of EuroHPC Summit Week (22-26 March 2021) and contribute to the co-funding of this event. The EHPCSW will gather the main European stakeholders from the High-Performance Computing (HPC) community: from technology suppliers, infrastructures to scientific and industrial users.
