Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe qprace is an international not-for-profit association under Belgian law, with its seat in Brussels. qprace has 25 members and 2 observers. qprace is governed by the PRACE Council in which each member has a seat. The daily management of the association is delegated to the Board of Directors. qprace is funded by its members as well as through a series of implementation projects supported by the European Commission. Computing resources are made available by a group of members (Hosting Members) 3 PRACE introduction to the Summer of HPC 2017 participants at the training week
PRACE AISBL as persistent pan-european supercomputing infrastructure Mission: enabling world-class science through large scale simulations Offering: HPC resources on leading edge capability systems Resource award: through a single and fair pan-european peer review process for open research 4 PRACE introduction to the Summer of HPC 2017 participants at the training week
The road went so far 2004-2006 HPCEUR HET Scientific case 5 2007 HPC in ESFRI roadmap HPC vision involving 15 countries PRACE initiative started 2008-2010 PRACE preparatory phase project EC funding from the FP7 April 2010 PRACE AISBL created HQ office in Brussels 1 call for project access launched PRACE introduction to the Summer of HPC 2017 participants at the training week 2010-2015 PRACE IP projects (14) PCP for energy efficiency launched Regular calls (2 per year) Industry and SME support Expanding training (PATC) End of PRACE initial period 2016 PRACE members agreement on new funding model New HM : Switzerland Call 14 for more than 2000 M core/h 2017 PRACE 2 starts issuing Call 15 PRACE5IP kick-off
PRACE achievements so far 530 M of funding for the 2010-2015 period (PRACE initial phase) 50 Pflop/s of aggregated peak performance on 7 world-class systems 465 scientific projects enabled 12.2 thousand million core hours awarded since 2010 by peer review Open R&D access for industrial users (> 50 companies supported) > 7000 people trained in 6 PRACE Advanced Training centers (PATC) and other events 6 PRACE introduction to the Summer of HPC 2017 participants at the training week
