Joliot-Curie against the coronavirus

Since April 2020, Joliot-Curie supercomputer has been providing priority access to a large part of its computing resources to European research teams to participate in the fight against the new coronavirus.

LEGI, CORIA, IMAG, the University of Vermont and SafranTech have run a 10 million hour Grand Challenge on the TGCC / Joliot-Curie "Rome". The aim is to characterize the dynamics and evolution of microdroplets and aerosols that can be ejected and kept in suspension after a sneeze, cough or just by breathing. This should make it possible to assess the risks of inhalation by healthy individuals and therefore the risks of contamination by the coronavirus according to various parameters (relative position of individuals, environment, effects of protection, ventilation, etc.).

GENCI, CEA, CPU and Atos arm European scientists against COVID19 with HPC facilities.

Two of the most powerful supercomputers in France, Joliot-Curie, operated at the CEA’s supercomputing center (TGCC), and Occigen, operated at CPU’s supercomputing center (CINES), are providing urgent computing access to large computer resources to European research teams involved in the fight against COVID-19.
