FFT produces software to simulate acoustic fields. PlanetHPC is led by EPCC, one of Europe's largest supercomputing centres based at The University of Edinburgh.Įloi Gaudry is a software developer for FFT, based in Belgium. By bringing these communities together and facilitating their interaction, our aim is to coordinate activities, strategies and roadmaps for HPC in Europe. PlanetHPC brings together the major players in European HPC from the scientific and business sectors - users, service providers, hardware providers and software providers. Launched in November 2009, this two-year initiative provides a unique forum for European researchers and industrialists to identify the research challenges facing High Performance Computing (HPC). PlanetHPC is a Support Action funded by the EU's 7th Framework Programme.
