Project description
Strengthening EU-India collaboration in high-performance computing
High-Performance Computing (HPC) is crucial for scientific and technological progress. Europe leads through the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, while India advances via the National Supercomputing Mission. The EU-funded GANANA project is building a strategic partnership between European HPC Centres of Excellence and top Indian research institutions. GANANA supports collaboration on global challenges like climate modeling, geophysical hazards and healthcare, encourages knowledge exchange, shared infrastructure and co-development of software. The partnership project also targets software performance optimisation and improved usability, better data integration and wider outreach. Sustainable governance and funding models will be explored to foster long-term innovation and cooperation in the HPC ecosystem.
Objective
High-Performance Computing (HPC) is a major enabler of progress in many domains of science, including UN Sustainable Development goals towards improving population health and climate action. HPC is driving breakthroughs in genomics, drug discovery, and personalized medicine, as well as geophysical hazard simulations, improving preparedness for disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis, and supports weather and climate predictions. Europe is among the world leaders in HPC and with initiatives such as EuroHPC JU is advancing the usage of exascale computer systems for research. India is expanding its HPC capabilities through the National Supercomputing Mission, focusing on indigenous technology and fostering academic, industrial, and governmental collaborations. Combining Europe’s advanced infrastructure with India’s growing expertise offers opportunities for innovation in those strategic areas of climate modeling, disaster management, and healthcare. Shared resources and expertise can enhance predictive models, accelerate responses to pandemics, and foster technological and economic growth.
The GANANA project is establishing a long-term partnership collaboration by uniting European HPC centers of excellence (BioExcel, ChEESE, ESiWACE3) and Indian institutions (C-DAC, IMD, ISR, NII, AIRAWAT) with the objectives to:
• Strengthen the links between research communities in the priority domains by supporting existing and establishing new collaborative activities.
• Setup and operate a range of activities in support of expertise exchange, capacity building and sharing of computing resources.
• Develop selected leading software packages by extending their functionality, optimise HPC performance and scalability, deploy on target architectures, improve usability and data integration.
• Expand the outreach, broaden the participation of external collaborators and develop a framework for wider community engagement and cooperation.
• Investigate options for governance and funding models, engage in a policy dialogue with key stakeholders and develop a framework for long-term partnership.
