The EuroHPC Summit Week 2022, held from 22-24 March 2022 in Paris, France, is seen by many as the first large in-person HPC event in Europe following the COVID-19 pandemic.
PRACE organises the PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference (PRACEdays21) as part of the EuroHPC Summit Week 2021, for the first time in a fully digital format. The event welcomed over 1100 active event platform users who attended their choice of 155 presentations over 5 days
In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, PRACE set up a Fast Track Call for Proposals for projects that used supercomputers to help stop the spread of the virus
A scientific committee established by PRACE led the review process and evaluated proposals within one week
Selected projects were given priority access to Europe’s most powerful supercomputers
The PRACE Digest 2020 publication was entirely dedicated to showcasing the incredible efforts made by scientists to contribute their time and effort to to help fight the spread of COVID-19
PRACE publishes a position paper entitled “PRACE in the EuroHPC Era”, advocating a strong partnership between EuroHPC and PRACE
Coordination starts with the European Technology Platform for HPC (ETP4HPC) and Centres of Excellence in HPC
A dynamic PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference (PRACEdays) was again part of the European HPC Summit Week (EHPCSW) which took place from 28 May to 1 June 2018 at the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Packed with fascinating keynote speakers from academia, industry, and the public sector
The fascinating conference included keynotes about European and international HPC strategy, scientific achievements, and industrial applications of HPC. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) provided as local host an enjoyable environment and an excellent organisation.
PRACEdays becomes the central event of the European HPC Summit Week, which invites other HPC-related EU-funded projects and their consortium partners to present their work and develop the HPC community in Europe.
The PRACE Women in HPC Magazine is published. The publication shines the spotlight on the scientific advances made by women in HPC.
By publishing the first magazine of its kind in supercomputing worldwide, PRACE leads the way in highlighting the contribution of women in this field
PRACEdays15 features two satellite events focusing on women in HPC and exascale European projects
The PRACE Industrial Seminar is merged with the PRACE Scientific Conference to form the PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference, better known as PRACEdays.
Focus complements and extends the work undertaken in PRACE-1IP and PRACE-2IP, to deliver a broader set of HPC services suitable for use by industry.
Pilot of a comprehensive access programme for SMEs starts
PRACE training material is made available online, freely accessible for all.
Analysing and proposing the legal form and options for the seat of PRACE
Providing detailed specifications of the PRACE Peer Review process
Developing the first versions of many of the services provided by the PRACE IP-projects
HET represents 11 European countries and jointly prepares a strategy document, “A sustainable HPC ecosystem for Europe”, which stresses the need for Europe to be competitive in HPC for both academia and industry, with Tier-0 systems, a unified peer review process, training services, and an appropriate funding model.
DEISA and DEISA2 projects coordinated by IDRIS establish a network of 11+4 Tier-1 centres accessible through DECI. These projects run until 2011
