Heterogeneous Memory Systems; Profiling; Runtime Systems; Programming Models Supercomputers are a key tool for professionals from many disciplines to address society challenges, enabling them to perform, e.g., climate change simulations or genome analysis. EC's HPC Strategy, implemented in H2020, devises the need to bring Europe's high-performance computing technology to the...

The Mont-Blanc 2020 (MB2020) project seeks to initiate the development of a future low-power European processor for Exascale. MB2020 lays the foundation for a European consortium that aims to deliver a processor with great energy efficiency for HPC and server workloads. A first generation product is scheduled in the 2020 time frame.Our target is to reach exascale-level power...

To achieve the demands of extreme scale and the delivery of exascale, we embrace the computing platform as a whole, not just component optimization or fault resilience. EuroEXA brings a holistic foundation from multiple European HPC projects and partners together with the industrial SME focus of MAX for FPGA data-flow; ICE for infrastructure; ALLIN for HPC tooling and ZPT to...

The DEEP-EST (DEEP - Extreme Scale Technologies) project will create a first incarnation of the Modular Supercomputer Architecture (MSA) and demonstrate its benefits. In the spirit of the DEEP and DEEP-ER projects, the MSA integrates compute modules with different performancecharacteristics into a single heterogeneous system. Each module is a parallel, clustered system...

The accuracy obtained in wind tunnel aerodynamic and aero-acoustic measurements is extremely demanding and it stillchallenges our current simulation technologies. It mainly challenges the capabilities of current mesh generationtechnologies used in flow simulations. The ground-breaking TESSERACT project addresses the challenge of studying howto generate computational meshes...

PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing is the permanent pan-European High Performance Computing service providing world-class systems for world-class science. Systems at the highest performance level (Tier-0) are deployed by Germany, France, Italy and Spain providing researchers with over 11 billion core hours of compute time. HPC experts from 25 member...

In its communication on the European Cloud Initiative the European Commission in April 2016 stressed the need forbuilding an European Data Infrastructure including high-end supercomputers, which will around 2022 reach the exascaleperformance level. In this proposal, a group of leading European supercomputing centres propose the formation of a buyersgroup to execute a joint...

This Project is placed in the scientific context of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) in Ocean Circulation Models (OCMs). The principal objective of the Project is to establish a long-lasting collaboration, to provide a possibility for transfer of knowledge,to enable exchanges of research personnel, and to create an intercontinental network in the area of oceanographic Data...

This project aims to apply the new exascale HPC techniques to energy industry simulations, customizing them, and going beyond the state-of-the art in the required HPC exascale simulations for different energy sources: wind energy production and design, efficient combustion systems forbiomass-derived fuels (biogas), and exploration geophysics for hydrocarbon reservoirs. For...

Essentially every new commercial product, be they smart phones, solar cells, batteries, transport technology, artificial hips, etc., depends on improved or even novel materials. Computational materials science is increasingly influential as a method to identify such critical materials for both R&D. Enormous amounts of data, precious but heterogeneous and difficult to...
