====== PSMN - Scientific Pole of Numerical Modelling  ======


**The PSMN**, Pôle Scientifique de Modélisation Numérique, **is the High Performance Computing facility of the [[http://www.ens-lyon.fr/en/english-ens-de-lyon-269761.kjsp|ENS of Lyon]]**. We host a large computational power (around 12000 cores [at end-2019] ) and provide a fast and flexible access to it. Our [[contact:equipe|team]] ensure the maintenance of the entire cluster, the software's' installation, as well as the training and support to users.

Together  with its counterparts from other universities in Lyon ([[https://p2chpd.univ-lyon1.fr|P2CHPD]] at Lyon I and [[http://pmcs2i.ec-lyon.fr/|PMCS2I]] at ECL), the PSMN is part of the FLMSN,-Fédération Lyonnaise de Modélisation et Sciences Numérique-, the regional High Performance Compting center of Lyon.
This regional Computing Center is one of the most powerfull in France, home to "equipement d'excellence" of the [[http://www.genci.fr/fr/content/equipmeso-0|Equip@Meso]] project, coordinated by [[http://www.genci.fr/|GENCI]] ( in charge of providing high-performance computing resources to promote the use of intensive computing for the benefit of the French scientific communities).


From the European HPC (High Performance Computing) hierarchy, the FLMSN, -Lyon's regional Computing Center-, is  a "Tier-2".
GENCI's National Calculation Centers is "Tier-1", and finally the largest supercomputers on a European scale (such as [[http://www.prace-ri.eu/prace-in-a-few-words/|PRACE]]) ensure a "Tier-0".

====== Le Centre Blaise Pascal - CBP ======

{{:nuage_cbp.png?nolink&250 |}}


**Centre Blaise Pascal, home of numerical modeling**, is a place of gathering for all scientific fields around digital modeling: it takes various forms, ranging from conferences to research projects and training programs.
The CBP facility consists of a wide range of computational resources (such as computing clusters, dedicated servers, collaborative work tools, a forge platform, a room for practical training, //etc.//), it is also equipped with offices, meeting rooms and conference rooms. 

**The research part of CBP's activities works as an interdisciplinary structure** offering full support to given scientific projects (for a specified amount of time). We welcome researchers and working groups interested in the development of new methods and new digital tools in agreement with technology's advancement. We provide them with a powerful and exportable work environment throughout the school and we offer general computer and mathematical supports for code development, software integration, data storage, analysis and publishing.
**The training part of CBP's activities, is integrated in MSc programs and doctoral schools of the University of Lyon**.
The interdisciplinary conferences programs and the scientific animations ensure contact between local students, engineers and researchers with the best national and international specialists.
