* There are two questionnaires indicating that the sites are “National HPC infrastructure/PRACE and other” and “Both and
other”
Table 15: Institute’s infrastructure participation represented in e-FISCAL survey
Types of institutes participating
The majority of institutes participating in e-­‐FISCAL survey (20 out of 28) are NGI Resource Centres (CPU, storage,
etc.), while another 15 out of 28 are HPC centres. An analytical review of these combinations is presented in Table
5.
Where:
1= NGI (coordinating body), 2= NGI Resource Centre (CPU, storage, etc.), 3= PRACE country coordinator, 4= HPC centre and 5
= Other (please specify)
