Expertise as key to success
At ParTec we strongly believe in expertise as the cornerstone to any successful project. Our team is made of experts with extensive experience and industry knowledge, but most of all they have a deep understanding of our clients’ needs. For us it’s not just about what we know, but the difference lies in how we apply this knowledge with precision and insight. Below you will find an overview of how we can help.
General HPC Advisory
ParTec offers consulting services for HPC procurements, including technical aspects related to the overall architecture of the system, selection of hardware and software components as well as legal advice related to procurement law, contracting, and IPR. We also have the role of a technology partner for hosting sites.
Consulting for Hosting Site Applications
For parties applying for a EuroHPC JU hosting agreement, which is required to receive funding for a EuroHPC supercomputer, ParTec offers a specific consulting service. Like research projects, hosting agreements are awarded based on a competitive analysis of proposals submitted to specific EuroHPC calls.
The service covers all phases from the definition of the hosting agreement consortium to the final decision by the EuroHPC JU. It includes general project management and coordination, assistance with all technical parts of the proposal, editorial support for proposal documents, advice on contractual issues and compliance with formal requirements and help during negotiations and hearings.
Two reference customers are LuxProvide and KIFÜ.
Consulting Services for HPC and QC Procurements
For parties purchasing a modular supercomputer, ParTec offers consulting services for HPC and QC procurements.
Use Case: The EU Destination Earth Flagship Project
A recent example of our engagement is our collaboration with the Destination Earth European flagship initiative (involving the European Space Agency, EUMERTSAT and the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts), where we provided consulting on how to best achieve seamless federation of geographically and organizationally distributed supercomputer resources and integrate streaming of data, in partnership with the European Technology Platform for High Performance computing (ETP4HPC).

PERFORMANCE AND EARLY TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION
In our exploration of the frontiers of computing, ParTec investigates novel classical computing technologies besides non-Von-Neumann architectures such as quantum computing. Together with customers and partners, we study the architecture, programmability, and performance of new processor technologies like NextSilicon’s Maverick, and develop new methodologies for modelling and projecting application performance.
