HBP Goals
To unify our understanding of the human brain!
!
To gain profound insights into what makes us human!
!
To use neuroinformatics and brain simulation !
!
To collect & integrate experimental data!
!
To build revolutionary new, brain derived, computing
technologies (HPC and neuromorphic)!

+ High-speed network + Shared filesystem
+ Local storage + Cloud storage @KITDefine the specific supercomputing requirements of HBP modeling and simulations • Work with HPC Industry in an open and transparent, competitive process è Pre-Commercial Procurement • To arrive at innovative HPC technology solutions meeting the HBP’s requirements such as large memory and interactive supercomputing • Thus lay the technological basis for the procurement of a pre- exascale production system in the next phase of the project
Work on the software • Components for interactive visualization, analysis and steering • Large-scale data management • Programming models FIGURE 44 • Resource and I/O management • Tools for performance analysis • Novel mathematical methods for neuroscience
Coordinate with other European HPC initiatives and research infrastructures www.humanbrainproject.eu
