Delivering scientific software across an European or worldwide distributed system is a major challenge in high-throughput scientific computing. The problem arises at different scales for many scientific communities that use grids, clouds, workstations and distributed clusters to satisfy their computing needs.

The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI, pronounced as “easy“) is a brand new collaboration between different European HPC sites & industry partners, with the common goal to set up a shared repository of scientific software installations that can be used on a variety of systems, regardless of which flavor/version of Linux distribution or processor architecture is used, or whether it’s a full size HPC cluster, a cloud environment or a personal workstation.

The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations Community brings together HPC users, partners and staff to share information and ideas about current and future Scientific Software Installation. Joining the European Environment for Scientific Software Installations Community enables interaction between members to improve understanding, configuration, and usage of current and future Scientific Software Installations.
