  • BigDFT4CHEM wins the EXDCI Call for Spin-off Initiatives (SPI)

    06 February 2020

    The project “Commercialization study of BigDFT for chemistry applications” (BigDFT4CHEM) has won the call for Spin-off Initiatives (SPI) launched by the EXDCI-2 consortium. The aim of BigDFT4CHEM is to study the market and commercialization possibilities of the open source code BigDFT applied to the chemical industry, and to contribute to closing the gap between the scientific “gem” and its commercial application. The project will receive €65,000 in funding for a business-oriented assessment and will start its activities in February 2020.

  • Publication of EXDCI-2 report on Transversal Vision

    05 February 2020

    The EXDCI-2 project has released its report on Transversal Vision.
    In this report, EXDCI-2 highlights a set of challenges that are becoming more acute as the HPC technology and use is profoundly changing. The introduction of big data in the discovery process is driving application to be implemented as large-scale distributed workflows that need to be deployed on a large set of systems, each one having its own idiosyncrasies (e.g. quantum accelerator) that questions the way application are implemented.
