Designed as a unified gateway, the platform changes how researchers, businesses, and public sector organisations interact with EuroHPC systems, removing long-standing barriers to entry and collaboration. At its core, the EuroHPC Federation Platform introduces a single access point for multiple operational EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) systems. Users can now log in through a harmonised authentication and authorisation infrastructure, replacing the need to navigate separate credentials and processes across different supercomputing centres. Anders Jensen, Executive Director of the EuroHPC JU, commented: “The first release of the platform marks the beginning of the journey toward a more connected and integrated European supercomputing ecosystem, empowering Europe’s scientific, industrial, and academic communities and strengthening Europe’s capacity for innovation.” Tackling fragmentation across Europe’s HPC landscape Europe’s supercomputing infrastructure is made up of world-class systems distributed across various centres, each with its own tools and procedures. These differences extend to critical functions such as authentication, resource allocation, job scheduling, and software provisioning. While this diversity reflects regional expertise, it has historically complicated access and limited seamless collaboration across borders. The EuroHPC …
