The aim of the NumInnov project is to make supercomputing technology available to all and help ensure that businesses and SMEs using this technology can create new products and offer new services.
Led by Bull, the project is government-supported as part of the “Investments for the Future” framework. It aims to create an independent operator providing supercomputing services in a cloud computing environment; businesses can have access, via the internet, to this computing power, and the associated software and services according to their specific needs when they want them. Supercomputing thus enters the cloud computing age. Rather than invest in acquiring and implementing very expensive data centres, companies can benefit from computing power paid for on a usage basis. At the technological level the NumInnov project will integrate and enrich the developments made by Bull.
With cloud computing, everyone will be eligible for High Performance. New applications will emerge. To accelerate their development, NumInnov’s ambition is to bring together software developers and experts in the various fields concerned, such as health, telemedicine and image processing, or civil protection and crisis management. NumInnov has already involved twenty five SMEs with Bull.
