Institution
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation of defence and security, nuclear and renewable energies, technological research for industry, fundamental research in physical and life sciences. The CEA participates within MAX with INAC institute, especially with the L Sim laboratory and the Research and Technology Computing Center (CCRT).
Research expertise
The CEA, in particular the L Sim lab, has the goal of simulating and predicting the structure and the properties of nanomaterials, developing original and HPC codes as BigDFT, TB Sim, and Fiesta.
Tasks in MAX
The L Sim team is the main maintainer of the BigDFT code. The supercomputer centre of CEA (CCRT) contributes to the container technology and provides some tools for the processing of experimental data.
