Six European supercomputing centres, namely BSC (Spain), CEA (France), CINECA (Italy), CSC (Finland), CSCS (Switzerland) and ... JSC (Germany), have aligned their services to facilitate the creation of the Fenix Infrastructure, offering data, Virtual Machine, and scalable and interactive computing services. The distinguishing characteristic of Fenix is that data repositories and scalable supercomputing systems are in close proximity and well integrated. An initial version of this infrastructure is currently being realised through the ICEI project (Interactive Computing E-Infrastructure), which is part of the European Human Brain Project (HBP). read more
