ENACTS

Network for advanced computing technology for science
Starting date: 
01/01/2001
End date: 
31/12/2004

The ENACTS Infrastructure Co-operation Network brings together 14 European organisations representing High Performance Computing centres and their users. Participants are drawn from across Europe and represent both traditional centres and smaller start-up centres. They also represent users of different classes of computers, from supercomputers to networked PCs. Through the Study Projects they undertake and through their General Meetings, they will work towards a European "Virtual Infrastructure" for all users of HPC. The broad spread of participants ensures that their findings will be relevant to all users and providers of services to the scientific computing community.

General notes: 

The ENACTS Infrastructure Co-operation Network brings together the operators of some of Europe's largest High Performance Computing infrastructures, centres in central and eastern Europe and research centres representing significant user groups. EPCC is to co-ordinate this Network which aims to take forward and build on the work undertaken by the DIRECT Concerted Action, and to focus more particularly on the challenge of working towards a European HPC metacentre.
