Baltic Large Scale Computing

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-11-06

Description

Description (EN):

Innovative businesses such as ship design, marine engineering and biotechnology require access to large scale computing to process large quantities of data. This access is currently limited to global enterprises and large research centres. The project BalticLSC creates a supercomputing environment comprising hardware prototypes, software tools and application recommendations. It offers these services to small and medium sized enterprises for new product development. In this way, small research centres can use their computing resources more efficiently.

Achievements (EN):

Valuable knowledge acquired thanks to transnational cooperation: BalticLSC brought together technology creators, business development organizations and science parks from eight countries. Together, they developed an open-source code of the BalticLSC Software and the BalticLSC Platform, with its complete documentation, including the Platform installation guide, the Software Design Model and the Developer's Guide. The Software and the Platform comprise the Baltic LSC Environment, which will be used mainly by organisations that intend to design and develop new innovative products and services based on supercomputing services at the time of their design or execution, and organisations that want to offer supercomputing services. Specifically, as a concrete example, if a company develops a marine system, it has the possibility to access an LSC service supplier on the BalticLSC portal. This is followed by a series of calculations in an easy-to-use computation application language and within a network of LSC nodes, combining their power according to the developers' needs. This chain enables the company to deliver a final product or service to the market much faster. Based on the technical feedback gathered during dedicated workshop sessions, results provided small-scale organisations (SMEs, startups, research centres) and individuals (innovators, students) with valuable knowledge regarding large-scale computations. Most targeted companies operate in engineering, IT, education and life sciences. BalticLSC Network: The project partners established BalticLSC Network. All the declared computation nodes (Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden) are operational and can be used as part of the Network to perform large-scale computations. Computations within the BalticLSC Environment can thus be distributed across several computation nodes in the Baltic Sea Region. The users can execute their computations on any or all of the nodes, depending on the type of their computation problem. The users can select nodes depending on their available resources (CPUs, GPUS, memory, network bandwidth) or geographical location (specific country). https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/balticlsc/
