UAR GRICAD is involved as a partner in several
projects in the field of calculation and data.
H2020 european projects EOSCPilot and EOSCPillar
The EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) is an
initiative of the European Commission to provide a
secure research environment in order to
store, analyse and reuse data for research, innovation and education.
GRICAD is a partner in two projects:
In particular, GRICAD is actively involved in the
implementation of the PICO2 (Pilot for Connecting
Computing Centres) initiative, which aims to
facilitate data and code flows between HPC and HTC
infrastructures at regional, national and European
level.
The centres involved are national centres (IDRIS,
CCIN2P3, France Grille, DESY Germany), regional
centres (GRICAD Grenoble, MCIA and Plafrim Bordeaux,
GRIF CEA Orsay) and RENATER.
Several areas of work were addressed at the
during the EOSCPilot project:
- Data sharing through an IRODS zone federation,
- Dedicated network connection via L3VPN,
- Evaluation of different code carrying solutions: packaging and container systems.
The
EOSCPillar project will allow the work to continue.
I-Risk is a response to the IRICE regional call to
propose a natural risk innovation platform.
It includes 7 partners (Géolithe, Grenoble INP, INSA Lyon, IRSTEA,
Université Grenoble Alpes, Université Savoie Mont
Blanc and TENEVIA) and is supported by
the INDURA cluster.
Within the framework of this project, GRICAD offers access to
computing infrastructures.

EQUIPEX project Equip@Meso
Equip@meso (Equipment for excellence in intensive computing of
coordinated mesocentres - Springboard to
petaflops and Exascale) was
selected in the context of the call for projects "Equipment of
excellence". 2010 of Future Investments. Coordinated by GENCI, the
project received funding from 10.5 M€ over 10 years. Equip@meso brings
together national and international actors regional to do,
everywhere in France and whenever possible, of intensive computing and
numerical simulation a vector of scientific and economic development.
Grenoble and its mesocentre (CIMENT at the time) was selected as a
regional partner, which made it possible, with the
aggregation of other financing, to invest in the
massively parallel Froggy machine.
This project has been completed since December 2019.
ANR DUNE project SIDES 3.0
The
SIDES 3.0 project (Intelligent Health Education System) is funded
for a period of 3 years (August 2017-July 2020) by the ANR as part of
the DUNE future investment programme for the development of
experimental digital universities.
GRICAD is involved in WP1 on hardware and software infrastructure.
Modern seismology is based on the deployment of
large observation networks composed of thousands of
independent sensors that record data
continuously. Data quality depends on the near
real-time synchronization of the different stations
that make up these networks. This is crucial for the
study of earthquakes and imaging and monitoring
issues. The objectives of the interdisciplinary project
IWORMS are:
- implement a new method for correcting dating based on the inter-correlation of ambient seismic noise
- to apply this processing to continuous data flows.
This project was initially funded through a MASTODONS call from MITI
CNRS. It is carried by researchers from the ISTerre
laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from
the LJK and engineers from GRICAD.
