MAISON DE LA SIMULATION / Strategy

Strategy in Computing Science

CEA policy and partnerships in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, research data and scientific software.

The Strategy in Computing Science (SCS) team helps develop and implement CEA’s policies in these fields. It works with research and computing organisations in France and abroad to build partnerships and coordinate joint projects.

Research data, software and AI

Contacts: Christophe Calvin and Guigone Camus.

The team contributes to CEA’s scientific and technical data policy and to its work on AI for science and engineering. Its work on scientific software includes:

SOTELO: the social and technical factors that shape how scientific software is developed and used.
ARISE: software technologies and development platforms that use AI.

Exascale computing

Contacts: Valérie Brenner and Christophe Calvin.

The team coordinates CEA’s contributions to French and European programmes on exascale computing, high-performance data analytics (HPDA) and AI.

NumPEx: research on methods and software for exascale computing.
EUPEX: a European pilot for exascale systems.
Exascale France: preparations for the European exascale supercomputer Alice Recoque.
AI2F: AI Factory France.

International collaborations

Contact: France Boillod-Cerneux.

The team coordinates partnerships in high-performance computing, AI and quantum computing. Its collaborations include:

AIDAS: AI, data analytics and scalable simulations.
CEA–RIKEN: collaboration with RIKEN in Japan.
HANAMI: the EU–Japan alliance in high-performance computing.
ADAC: the Accelerated Data Analytics and Computing Institute.
