Advanced Support
General in nature and of short duration (1-2 months renewable), Advanced Support is a service open to all IDRIS users wishing to benefit from assistance and expertise beyond the answers that can be provided by the permanent support team.
It can involve moving to massive parallelism, porting code to GPUs, vectorisation, performance optimisation on CPUs or GPUs, scaling parallel input/output, using specific libraries...
It covers both high-performance computing and artificial intelligence issues.
Requests for advanced support for a high-performance computing project should be sent to the IDRIS management via the email address supportavance@idris.fr by filling out the advanced support request form. IDRIS will evaluate the technical aspects of the project and its ability to provide effective support. IDRIS may also seek the opinion of thematic committees on the scientific relevance of the project. Projects finally selected will receive the help of IDRIS engineers over a determined period of time (1-2 months renewable) within the framework of a very precisely defined mission.
These close collaborations with users are not only an opportunity to develop codes adapted to the latest technical evolutions of computing architectures and programming paradigms, but also and above all to initiate a transfer of technical skills and experience to users and French research teams.
At the end of each project, a final evaluation will be carried out to verify that the initial objectives set have been achieved.
