Coordination Funds

优先方案（SPP） sppeexa与其他SPP的不同之处在于其起源、数量、通过DFG战略基金提供资金、所涉学科的范围以及针对一系列时间紧迫目标的明确战略方向。因此，尽管SPPEXA的结构是分布式的，但它在很大程度上也类似于一个协作研究中心。它的成功实施和演变将需要更多和更强烈的结构性措施。本提案中提出的协调项目包括所有计划的spexwide活动，包括指导和协调、内部和国际合作和联网以及教育活动。战略指导和协调由两名科学协调员、指导委员会和一名在sppexa相关研究课题和项目管理问题上经验丰富的研究人员保证。这一科学项目经理的职能类似于合作研究中心的常务董事：确保实现SPPEXA目标的总体进展；策划和协调公司活动；协助协会开展其他活动（研讨会、教育等）；与国际合作伙伴和项目建立联系。SPPEXA与德国以外的高性能计算（HPC）领域的其他倡议（NSF， DOE）的第一个联系已经在启动阶段准备好了，更多的将会随之而来。邀请国际研究人员（研讨会，博士务修等）和SPPEXA组织的国际会议的许多可能性将进一步加强SPPEXA与国际HPC社区的关系，并确保SPPEXA成为国内和国际HPC基础研究的高度可见的组成部分。

The Priority Programme (SPP) SPPEXA is different from other SPP with respect to its genesis, its volume, its funding via DFG’s Strategy Fund, with respect to the range of disciplines involved, and to a clear strategic orientation towards a set of time-critical objectives. Therefore, despite its distributed structure, SPPEXA also resembles a Collaborative Research Centre to a large extent. Its successful implementation and evolution will require both more and more intense structural measures. The Coordination Project presented in this proposal comprises all intended SPPEXAwide activities, including steering and coordination, internal and international collaboration and networking, and educational activities.The strategic steering and coordination is guaranteed by the two scientific coordinators, the steering committee, and a researcher experienced both in SPPEXA-relevant research topics and in project management issues. The function of this scientific programme manager is similar to that of a managing director of a Collaborative Research Center: ensure the overall progress towards SPPEXA’s goals; plan and coordinate the corporate activities; assist consortia with the implementation of additional activities (workshops, education, etc.); form an interface to international partners and programmes.First links of SPPEXA to other initiatives in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) outside Germany (NSF, DOE) have already been prepared during the initiation phase, and more will follow. Many possibilities to invite and collaborate with international researchers (workshops, doctoral retreats, etc.) as well as SPPEXA’s organized international conferences will further tighten the relations of SPPEXA with the international HPC community and ensure that SPPEXA becomes a highly visible component of fundamental research in HPC, nationally and internationally.
