In April this year, the second edition of the INFRAG expert group was established. It is an independent group of experts, operating at EuroHPC, whose task is to define long-term plans for the development of infrastructure for advanced computing (HPC), including the requirements for the data infrastructure and associated services. Director of Data Processing Technologies Division – Norbert Meyer, Ph.D. has been reappointed to the new INFRAG group.
In its first edition, INFRAG contributed to the definition of requirements to be followed in the construction of pre-exascale systems in Europe as a first step in the construction of exascale systems. The first 3 pre-exascale systems are currently under construction at CSC (Finland), CINECA (Italy) and BSC (Spain).
