The '''Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications''' ('''DEISA''') was a consortium of major national supercomputing centres in Europe. Initiated in 2002, it became a [[European Union]] funded [[supercomputer]] project. AThe consortium of eleven national supercomputing centres from seven [[Europe]]an countries promoted pan-European research on European [[high-performance computing]] systems. Byby extendingcreating thea European collaborative environment in the area of supercomputing, DEISA followed suggestions. of the [[European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures]].

==History==

The DEISA project started as DEISA1 in 2002 developing and supporting a pan-European distributed high performance computing infrastructure. The initial project was funded by the [[European Commission]] in the sixth of the [[Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development]] (FP6) from 2004 through 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Distributed European Infrastructure for supercomputing applications |work= Project funding web site |publisher= [[CORDIS]] |url= http://cordis.europa.eu/projectsproject/rcnid/80148_en.html508830 |accessdate= 1321 AugustDecember 20132023 }}</ref> The funding continued for the follow-up project DEISA2 in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) through 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Distributed European infrastructure for supercomputing applications 2 |work= Project funding web site |publisher= [[CORDIS]] |url= http://cordis.europa.eu/projectsproject/rcnid/86658_en.html222919 |accessdate= 1321 AugustDecember 20132023 }}</ref>

The DEISA infrastructure coupled eleven national supercomputing centres with a dedicated (mostly 10&nbsp;Gbit/s) network connection provided by [[GEANT2|GÉANT2]] on the European level and the [[national research and education network]]s (NRENs).
