Transcript of Fortissimo Call Lonsdale 2013 11-21
The Fortissimo Project
• Building a Cloud of HPC Resources to solve SMEs’ business challenges
• One of the I4MS* projects within the “Factories of the Future” initiative
• Complementing generic SME initiatives in EC FP7 Programme - specific support to deliver economic growth through modelling and simulation
• Focus on problem solving – not technology development
• Brings together all of the players in a marketplace
2
(*) ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs
Fortissimo – scale & structure
• €22m costs, €16m EC funding, 45 partners growing to 90+ over the 3 year duration
• 20 initial “Experiments” with SMEs
• Each experiment has 2-4 partners
• Funding of ~€250,000 / experiment
• 2 Open Calls for proposals
• First opening in November 2013
• Second opening May 2014
• Optimised financial and legal structure to assist SMEs

1st Open Call - Objectives
• Competitive call for HPC-Cloud-based Application Experiments for the FORTISSIMO project
• Target: the expansion of the application experiments for engineering and manufacturing simulation services currently being carried out within Fortissimo
• Priority given to proposals complementing existing Fortissimo experiments & which address the needs of engineering and manufacturing SMEs.
