The '''Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications''' ('''DEISA''') iswas a [[European Union]] [[supercomputer]] project. It is aA consortium of eleven national supercomputing centres from seven [[Europe]]an countries. It promotespromoted pan-European research on European [[high-performance computing]] systems. By extending the European collaborative environment in the area of supercomputing, DEISA followsfollowed the suggestions of [[ESFRI]].

== 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/projects/rcn/80148_en.html |accessdate= 13 August 2013 }}</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/searchprojects/indexrcn/86658_en.cfm?fuseactionhtml |accessdate=proj.document&PJ_LANG=EN&PJ_RCN=10069312&pid=0&q=552A6FB756E2670E450CDD0BC5BED465&type=sim Continued13 funding]August 2013 }}</ref> in [[Seventh Framework Programme|FP7]].

The DEISA infrastructure couples thecoupled eleven national supercomputing centres which form the consortium 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).
