A perspective on the sppexa collaboration from france

Abstract

As the French member of the Steering Committee of SPPEXA, it is my great pleasure to give a short address to this volume from the perspective of the French partners in this German-French-Japanese cooperation. To highlight the types of software supported by SPPEXA, we first present a classification of high-performance software types. We then take a look at the recent activities of HPC software in France under the SPPEXA umbrella. Next, some local impacts of the SPPEXA collaboration on the French HPC community is provided, and lastly, an outlook to future collaborations.
