The '''Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications''' ('''DEISA''') was a [[European Union]] [[supercomputer]] project. A consortium of eleven national supercomputing centres from seven [[Europe]]an countries promoted pan-European research on European [[high-performance computing]] systems. By extending the 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/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/projects/rcn/86658_en.html |accessdate= 13 August 2013 }}</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).

== Consortium==

There were 11 principal partners and four associate partners.

Principal partners were:

*[[Max Planck Gesellschaft]], [[Germany]]

* [[BavarianMax AcademyPlanck of Sciences and HumanitiesGesellschaft]], [[Germany]]

* [[Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities]], Germany

*[[Barcelona Supercomputing Center]], [[Spain]]

* [[Cineca|CINECABarcelona Supercomputing Center]], [[ItalySpain]]

* [[CSC, Scientific Computing LtdCineca|CINECA]], [[FinlandItaly]]

* [[CSC, Scientific Computing Ltd]], [[Finland]]

* [[ECMWF|European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts]], [[United Kingdom]]

* [[Jülich Research Centre]], Germany

In 2011 services were taken over by the [[Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe]].

==DeisaDEISA benchmarkBenchmark suiteSuite==

DEISA produced a [[benchmark (computing)|benchmark suite]] to help computer scientists assess the performance of parallel supercomputer systems. The benchmark comprises a number of real applications codes taken from a wide range of scientific disciplines. A structured framework allows compilation, execution and analysis to be configured and carried out via standard input files.
