The DEISA infrastructure tightly couples the eleven national supercomputing centres which form the DEISA consortium with a dedicated (mostly 10Gbit/s) network connection provided by [[GEANT2|GÉANT2]] on the European level and the [[NREN]]s on the national level. New socalled associate partners will be connected to this infrastructure, too.

==Deisa Benchmark Suite==

[[DEISA]] has produced a packaged [[benchmark (computing)|benchmark suite]] to help computational

scientists in assessing the performance of parallel supercomputer

systems. The benchmark comprises a number of real applications codes

taken from a wide range of scientific disciplines. All the codes are

packaged into a structured framework allowing compilation, execution and

analysis to be configured and carried out via a set of standard input

files.

The codes have been chosen as being representative of the scientific

projects performed on the DEISA supercomputers. The codes and associated

datasets have been selected to be useful in benchmarking systems with

peak performances ranging up to hundreds of teraflops, machines which

are more powerful than a desktop PC by factors of tens of thousands.

The current suite contains codes relevant to astrophysics, fluid

dynamics, climate modelling, biosciences, materials science, fusion

power and fundamental particle physics. It has been run by DEISA on a

range of its own supercomputers and records of the results are kept for comparison. The DEISA

benchmark has already been used by the EU-funded PRACE project as a

starting point for their own investigations of benchmarks for the next

generation of petaflop supercomputers.
