The European Commission, via a EuroHPC call for projects, has asked each of the member states to create a National HPC Competence Centre, which will be its sole interlocutor, both to express the needs of users with regard to these new technologies and to accompany them in their implementation.
Teratec, Cerfacs and Genci presented their candidature as French HPC Competence Centre which was accepted by the commission.
The starting date of the Competence Centre is set for 1 September 2020.
