abstract = {Decoding the human brain is considered as one of the
greatest challenges faced by 21st century science. Advancing
brain research by simulating the full human brain promises
to provide profound insights into its complex functionality
and into what makes us human. These insights will help to
understand brain diseases and to develop novel
treatments.Modern high performance computing technology not
only allows to bring these goals into focus, it might itself
be transformed profoundly being guided towards the exascale
and beyond. On the one hand, information and communication
technology (ICT) provides us with a completely new
understanding of the brain and its diseases. On the other
hand, this understanding of the brain will lead inevitably
to brain inspired, radical innovation in computing. In
particular, the Human Brain Project, one of the two EU
Flagship research projects, will require data-intensive HPC
at an extreme scale and fully interactive visualization and
steering capabilities. Eventually, revolutionary new
computing technologies, so-called neuromorphic devices, are
expected to become reality.The following contribution
outlines the plans for the HBP’s High Performance
Computing (HPC) platform. A central brain simulation system
at Jülich Research Centre, Germany, is planned to be
operated as a user facility. It will provide the optimized
hardware-software environment running a full virtual human
brain model. Neuroscientists will be enabled to carry out
in-silico experiments based on this model. The platform will
be complemented by a software development system at CSCS in
Lugano, Switzerland, and a third system will be running
efficient molecular-level simulations at BSC in Barcelona,
Spain. Finally, a system adapted to support massive data
analytics will be hosted at CINECA in Bologna, Italy. During
the ramp-up phase of the project (2013-2916), the HBP will
link with PRACE institutions that have expressed their
interest in adding in-kind support to the Platform and will
try to motivate PRACE to establish programmatic access to
PRACE systems, in order to allow peer-reviewed usage of the
entire European Tier-0 capability.},
