Project Description

DEISA[[1]] is an abbreviation for Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications.

History and Funding

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 FP6. The funding continued for the followup project DEISA2[[2]] in FP7.

Organisation and Aims

DEISA is made up of a consortium of eleven leading national supercomputing centres from seven European countries. It supports a pan-European world-leading computational science research by providing and operating a persistent, production quality, distributed supercomputing environment all over Europe. It aims at delivering a turnkey opera­tional solution for a future European HPC eco­system. By extending the European collaborative environment in the area of supercomputing, DEISA follows the suggestions of ESFRI.

Infrastructure

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 GÉANT2 on the European level and the NRENs on the national level. New socalled associate partners will be connected to this infrastructure, too.
