INSA RENNES joins the RISING STARS Consortium
The Institute National des Sciences Appliquées de Rennes (INSA Rennes) has officially become part of the Rising Stars consortium. This strategic collaboration brings INSA Rennes´ profound expertise in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) technology, data flow models and Square Kilometre Array (SKA) applications into the project.
INSA Rennes, a renowned school of engineering operating under the purview of the French Ministry of Education and Research, is recognized for its training of highly skilled engineers across eight specialized engineering disciplines. It also houses six cutting-edge research laboratories, further cementing its reputation as a hub of innovation and knowledge.
The Rising Stars project will specifically collaborate with the Institut d’Électronique et des Technologies du numéRique (IETR), an affiliate of INSA Rennes, to synergize its expertise.
INSA Rennes´ contributions will primarily be concentrated in Work Packages 3 and 5. In Work Package 3, the institute will leverage its deep understanding of FPGA technology and dataflow models to the smart data interface. This collaborative effort will see INSA Rennes partnering with other consortium members, such as Observatoire de Paris, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and Microgate.
Moreover, INSA Rennes will also contribute to Work Package 5, which focuses on the SKA Applications. Drawing from its extensive domain knowledge, it is set to enrich this work package by sharing insights into models of architectures and dataflows. These contributions may extend to Australian partners, potentially involving the implementation of new features on the pathfinders experiment in Australia.
Beyond its technical contribution, INSA Rennes´ inclusion in the consortium comes at a crucial juncture as it assists Observatoire de Paris to cope with the work emerging from the backup due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The addition of INSA Rennes to the Rising Stars consortium underscores the collaborative spirit and shared commitment to advancing the frontiers of knowledge and technology. This alliance promises to bring fresh perspectives, innovation, and expertise, enriching the consortium´s work towards enabling a parallel programming framework for the development and execution of advanced large -scale Cyber Physical Systems with High Performance Computing (HPC) and real-time requirements.
