Alan O’Cais will present “Introduction to the EuroHPC Federation Platform” on 17 June at 12h30, during the HPC Annual Meeting – HPCKP26 Barcelona 17-18 June.
Register here to watch the talk online!!
Abstract:
The EuroHPC Federation Platform (EFP) serves as a secure “one-stop shop” designed to harmonize access to European supercomputing, AI, and quantum computing infrastructure. Driven by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the EFP streamlines user onboarding and unifies fragmented cross-site workflows through centralized services like single sign-on (SSO), federated resource allocation, and interactive web tools.
This talk introduces the architecture and core components of the EFP, with a dedicated deep dive into its Federated Software Catalog (FSC). Built upon the European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI), the FSC addresses hardware heterogeneity by serving a pseudo-uniform, highly optimized stack of scientific software, applications, and libraries natively across all federated supercomputers.
Attendees will learn how the EFP and EESSI alleviate user friction during cross-system migration, explore the current status of supported CPU/GPU architectures, and view a demonstration of software and workflow portability in action.
