Onera shapes European aerospace research : member of EREA – Association of European Research Establishments in Aeronautics
Onera have a presence on the HPC front since the beginning with internal computing facilities: Cray (1S, XMP, YMP, C90), NEC (SX-4, SX-5, SX-6, SX-8), super-scalar BULL IA 64, and Paragon Intel supercomputer
In 2017 a new NEC supercomputer (17630 Broadwell cores, 580 Tflops Linpack, position 342 in the TOP 500 (june 2017).
Onera close to our industrial partners (SAFRAN, AIRBUS, MBDA, …) with elsA (Multi-purpose CFD simulation platform) and CEDRE (tools for propulsion and energetics using generalized unstructured grids ) softwares. Softwares are used for cooperations with schools as a training tools
Onera was also a partner of CCRT (Research and Technology Computing Centre) phase A-B and D since mai 2017.
Onera is involved in the SYSTEMATIC project, in a coordinated effort with AeroSpace Valley project, Astech and PEGASE project.
