FZJ joins the High Performance Software Foundation

JuRSE and JSC are happy to announce that FZJ is now an associate member of the High Performance Software Foundation ([HPSF].

The HPSF, a Linux Foundation project, aims at "advancing portable software for diverse hardware by increasing adoption, aiding community growth, and enabling development efforts, lowering barriers to productive use of today’s and future high performance computing systems". With all the HPC systems available through JSC and all the great software written for these systems by the community, this clearly resonates with us.

Together with strong partners from research and industry, we support the development of world-class open-source HPC software through a number of joint HPSF initiatives, boosting the three "P" of HPC: performance, portability, and productivity. It will also be FZJ's goal to increase visibility and uptake of European software solutions such as EasyBuild and to strengthen the European HPC software ecosystem as a whole, together with our partner at CEA.
