Enabling combined numerical simulation and large data analysis via high-performance computing has tremendously expanded the realm of the possible, and greatly accelerated research projects in many areas. Providing such scientific and economic competitiveness boosters is at the heart of the missions of GENCI and of the teams of CEA Très Grand Centre de Calcul (TGCC). On the road to Exascale, the...

The 5th edition of the ECFD will bring together researchers from academia and industry of the CFD community around massively parallel fluids mechanics codes to federate their expertise with the objective to improve both some aspects linked to physics integrated into these codes and numerical simulation methodologies to meet technical and scientific challenges already perceptible on modern hybrid...

In the frame of the Grant Agreement HPCQS which covers the funding of the acquisition, maintenance and installation costs of quantum simulator pilots, the buyers’ group composed by GENCI and FZJ, is preparing to launch a Public Procurement for Innovative solutions. A prior information notice (PIN) has been published by the procurers in the OJEU on this subject, on the 21st of December 2021. The...

While France is taking over the Presidency of the European Union, and in a context of strengthening bilateral cooperation between France and Italy - highlighted by the signature of the Quirinal Treaty by President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi on 26 November - CEA, CINECA and GENCI have engaged a joint initiative aimed at strengthening European digital capacity.

Thales, Pasqal, Paris Region and GENCI today announce a new two-year partnership to develop new methods to address planning and scheduling challenges related to critical systems’ optimization through Pasqal’s quantum processor. The process of planning (selecting the appropriate policies and procedures to fulfil a mission or a project) and scheduling (converting the project action plans into an...

With the new project “High-Performance Computer and Quantum Simulator hybrid” (HPCQS) Europe enters into the new era of hybrid quantum-high-performance computing. HPCQS sets out to integrate two quantum simulators, each controlling about 100+ qubits in supercomputers located at two European HPC centers. The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) based in Luxembourg has...

In conjunction with the SuperComputing 2021 conference in Saint Louis (Missouri, USA), GENCI (Grand Équipement National de Calcul Intensif) - the French national agency in charge of high-performance computing and storage resources investements for academic and open industrial research, the CNRS by its national computing center : IDRIS (Institut du Développement et des Ressources en Informatique...

GENCI, the French national agency for High Performance Computing and CINES, the National Computing Center for Higher Education (one of the 3 French national centers), together with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and AMD, are proud to unveil the acquisition of “Adastra” supercomputer and its upcoming deployment during next spring. At 2022 horizon, Adastra will be one of the most powerful...

GENCI, the French Research Infrastructure in charge of implementing national policy in HPC, AI and Quantum computing, is honored to collaborate with PRACE for the organization of the EuroHPC Summit Week (EHPCSW). Held on behalf of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, EHPCSW 2022 will take place in Paris at la Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, from March 22 to 24, 2022, during the French Presidency...
