DEISA: Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications

Thanks to the DEISA infrastructure academics can optimally distribute their extremely intensive computations across the European supercomputers.

‘There are many advantages in distributing the demanding computations of academics across the available supercomputers on a European scale,’ says
Axel Berg, Business Unit Manager High Performance Computing and Visualisation of SARA Computing and Networking Services. ‘One system is largely dedicated
to a very intensive computational task, and the other jobs are distributed across the remaining computers that are part of the collaboration. It is also possible to assign the most suited supercomputer to a specific type of calculation, or to distribute the
work across multiple systems. This European collaboration allows us to meet extreme research demands and to confront the real challenges in science.’
