HPC-Europa3 offers a well-established and successful mechanism for fostering collaborative research, building cross-national collaborations, and allowing computational scientists to contribute to the skills development of junior researchers and/or researchers from countries with limited access to HPC facilities. All this is not achievable by one institution working alone and will undoubtedly reinforce the active collaboration between HPC centres and scientific communities.
This action, on the other hand, cannot act in isolation from the European HPC panorama as a whole, which is populated by several initiatives each working, at different levels and with different final goals, towards a shared objective of structuring and reinforcing a European vision, implementation and provision of HPC. This Networking Activity (NA) aims to work on the enlargement of the user community not only by involving research teams from a larger number of countries, but also by connecting with other research initiatives and groups.
An additional focus is to foster the HPC culture for SMEs. The network of host centres extends to labs with strong technical-engineering characterizations and expertise. This will lead, in the long term, to technology transfer actions with industries and SMEs. Specific marketing and publicity actions are foreseen to improve the awareness among SMEs of the opportunity given by HPC technologies and services, and to bring SMEs into a closer relationship with the use of HPC.
Currently active collaborations between HPC-Europa3 and other EU initiatives.

ETP4HPC is the European Technology Platform (ETP) in the area of High-Performance Computing (HPC). It is an industry-led think-tank comprising of European HPC technology stakeholders: technology vendors, research centres and end-users. The main task of ETP4HPC is to define research priorities and action plans in the area of HPC technology provision (i.e. the provision of supercomputing systems). We issue and maintain a Strategic Research Agenda as a mechanism to help the European Commission define the contents of the HPC Technology Work Programmes. We also act as the “one voice” of the European HPC industry in relations with the European Commission and national authorities. ETP4HPC was formed in October 2011. http://www.etp4hpc.eu/ |
