Abstract:
EGI, the European Grid Initiative, represents an effort to establish a sustainable European grid infrastructure. Its foundations are the National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and the EGI Organization (EGI.eu). The first phase of EGI implementation is prepared to start in May 2010. DEISA is a consortium of the most powerful supercomputer centres in Europe, operating supercomputers in a distributed but integrated HPC infrastructure. It regularly hosts the most challenging European supercomputing projects and prepares a turnkey operational solution for a future integrated European HPC infrastructure. PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe1, prepared the creation of a persistent pan-European HPC infrastructure to support world-class science on world-class systems. PRACE will become operational in 2010 and deploy up to five leadership systems at renowned partner sites. For EEF, the recently formed European E-Infrastructure Forum will present its ideas on a future European compute ecosystem.
