Why Participating
Applicants can take this opportunity to participate to the LEXIS Open Call in order to:
- Testing their application experiments in a real converged HPC/Cloud/Big Data environment
- Scaling their application before entering full scale operational level
- Demonstrating the results or potential results
- Refining their software architectures in development phase
- Using an architecture mixing CPUs/GPUs and in some cases FPGAs
Benefits for Applicants:
- Accessing a top of the range infrastructure and its related services for free.
- Taking advantage of the LEXIS orchestration to optimally use the distributed heterogeneous Cloud/HPC infrastructure
- Using an architecture where security is included since the design phase of the platform and aiming at respecting several security concepts such as
- Zero trust model
- Security by design principle
- Defense in Depth principle
- Separation of Duties
- Minimizing attack surface area, keeping security simple and ensuring secure defaults by design
- Running application experiments without having to pay for the computing time and resources made available by the LEXIS Consortium (within the limits given by the Open Call)
- Taking advantage of the visualisation capabilities
- Taking advantage of technical support of workflows and the LEXIS Lexis platform
- Taking advantage of the trainings proposed by the LEXIS Consortium
- Accessing existing workflows templates from the catalogue/possibility to create new workflows
- Accessing non-private datasets from Pilots
- Possibility to use their own datasets or datasets from third parties (after third party approval for private datasets)
- Possibility to use their Open Call participation to demonstrate their application experiments to various stakeholders and customers
- Possibility to take advantage of the dissemination/communication platform of LEXIS for their benefit (in the limit defined by the Open Call rules) at no charge
- Significant exposition of Applicants work to the industry and scientific community in Europe and abroad
- Getting clear feedback along and at the end of the execution of the application experiment
