Description
Together with its repositioning as an Association of Users and HPC Centres in Europe and the advent of its Third Phase, PRACE has identified the need to turn to a more service-oriented approach. This new paradigm is not only needed for the PRACE members and their associated users to see the relevance of the action of the Association but also will allow the European HPC ecosystem to deliver an effective and efficient HPC infrastructure. Such a service-oriented approach will allow to mobilize the various actors of our ecosystem, academia, industry or HPC centres, in a common objective of serving Science and Innovation.The workshop will consider various service-oriented initiatives of the past and present to identify what these bring to the ecosystem and what would be missing to reach the infrastructure effectiveness that we target. We aim at listing concrete actions that will speed up the adoption of HPC and related technologies in a rapidly evolving context. The workshop will focus both on short terms achievable goals and on the preparation of longer term, disruptive, changes
