Description
NEF is a multidomain scientific experimentation platform at INRIA, designed to support high-performance computation, storage, and visualisation for advanced research applications. It is built on a heterogeneous parallel computing architecture, combining multiple generations of high-performance servers into a cluster-based system. The platform features high-speed network interconnects and large-capacity storage and is directly connected to the Inria Sophia interactive visualisation platform, enabling seamless data processing and graphical analysis. Financed by INRIA, CPER, various research teams, and the Scientific Piloting Committee (CSPP), NEF provides a robust digital infrastructure for scientific innovation. This dedicated platform is widely used by PhD researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and the engineering team at ACENTAURI for a range of computational experiments. Access is managed through user accounts and containerisation, ensuring secure and efficient use of digital resources.
