The interaction between High-Performance computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating a new horizon: "High-Performance Artificial Intelligence" (HPAI) that is fueling the growth of platforms, applications and products empowered by AI. Although AI is not a new field of research, recent advances in HPC have given AI the necessary tools to become a game changing...

The current HPC facilities will need to grow by an order of magnitude in the next few years to reach the Exascale range. The dedicated middleware needed to manage the enormous complexity of future HPC centers, where deep heterogeneity isneeded to handle the wide variety of applications within reasonable power budgets, will be one of the most critical aspects in the evolution...

Europe has made significant progress in becoming a leader in large parts of the HPC ecosystem: from industrial and scientific applicationproviders via system software to Exascale systems, bringing together technical and business stakeholders. Despite such gains, excellence inresearch in high performance computing systems is fragmented across Europe and opportunities for...

As a result of HBP SGA-1, the Qbeast framework enables to achieve the concept of interactive supercomputing and in-situ techniques to break traditional workflows in HPC simulations, converting them into more dynamic and adaptive to the needs of scientists. As a long term project, the HBP does not include in its current work plan the exploitation of such relatively small...

The European Processor Initiative (EPI) will mobilise the continent's High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem to develop new low-power processors for HPC and embedded systems. The aim is to use the results in the world-class exascale platforms that the EU is planning for 2022 and 2023.

EPI will follow a co-design approach through a partnership...

The project EXDCI-2 builds upon the success of EXDCI and will continue the coordination of the HPC ecosystem withimportant enhancements to better address the convergence of big data, cloud and HPC. EXDCI-2 strategic objectives are:

• Development and advocacy of a competitive European HPC Exascale Strategy and
• Coordination of the stakeholdercommunity for...

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...

Liquid fuel combustion applications are the main energy consumers within our current transport system, with a consequent impact on resource utilization, global warming and pollutant emissions. Society is pushing to decarbonize the transportation sector with replacementfuels that have lower impact and allow to a carbon-neutral growth for the near term. The implementation of...

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...
