Poland: HPC related Poland: HPC related researchresearch Different profiles of 5 HPC operational
centers Computational science research:
strong interdisciplinary orientation at ICM, with direct coupling to experimental labs
industrial collaborations in education and R&D: joint IBM-ICM competence center for Cell technology, an example
Primarily R&D related to middleware layer at other centers, driven by Grid programs (EU FP5-7)
Extensive involvement in EGEE programs, with high interest in High-Energy Physics community in LHC data processing

ICM, an Open Science ICM, an Open Science centercenter Open source HPC software offer:
VisNow: modular visual modelling and computing platform with broad-range applicability
MolDyana: specialized modular visual modelling and computing platform for molecular and macromolecular scale applications
In addition: Yadda, an integrated software
platform for open publishing and federated repositories, with extensive content processing and analysis functionality
The latter technology adopted for EU DRIVER platform for science repositories, system for Poland currently under implementation
