French cloud initiative compiles resources for academic and industrial research in AI
The CLUSSTER project aims to strengthen the French and
European cloud industry by creating a cloud dedicated to Artificial Intelligence , High-Performance Computing and Quantum Computing .
As a single-entry point , the CLUSSTER project will bring together a range of digital resources for the academic and industrial communities . The project is being led by a consortium of French academic and industrial researchers in numerical calculation and AI : GENCI , CEA , CNRS and Inria , as well as industrialists Eviden ( Atos Group ), OVHcloud , CS Group , ActiveEon and Qarnot .
At a time when the availability of cloud computing technologies is accelerating , this secure , unified and scalable system , available from 2024 , comes as an answer to the requirements of AI and HPC . It will then be extended to cover Quantum Computing . This as-a- Service model for HPC , AI and Quantum Computing in the cloud will provide access to one of the largest portfolios of computing services and supercomputers , encouraging and enabling the democratisation of advanced computing by simplifying the use of public and private data centres .
For the first time , this project will help to ensure a continuum between open research , confidential research and industrial activities . It also aims to federate both academic and industrial sovereign infrastructures , as well as value-added Expertise-as-a- Service and Learning-as-a-Service services ( support , business expertise , training , technology watch ).
The first partners to make their computing resources available are France ’ s public organisations , GENCI , CNRS-IDRIS and Inria , as well as OVHcloud and Qarnot for the private sector .
