Just under two years ago, the European Commission formalized the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU): a concerted HPC effort (comprising 32 participating states at current count) across the European Union and supplanting HPC calls made under the Horizon 2020 funding program. Now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Commission is redoubling its commitment […]

The European Commission has proposed a new Regulation for the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) to maintain and advance Europe's role in supercomputing and quantum computing. It will support research and innovation activities for new supercomputing technologies, systems and products, as well as foster the necessary skills to use the infrastructure and form the basis for a world-class ecosystem in Europe. The proposal would enable an investment of 8 billion euro in the next generation of supercomputers - a substantially larger budget compared to the current one of about 1,5 billion euro. .

On today’s program we landed a couple of unplanned themes; namely silicon photonics and its role in both quantum and AI architectures. …

From its virtual 4m below sealevel studioPrimeur Magazinereported from the RISC-V Global Forum that went online on September 3, 2020. The focus in this video is on the relationship between RISC-V and high performance computing. Firstly, the European Processor Initiative (EPI) is highlighted. Secondly comes BLAS, a basic algorithm underlying a lot of software in high performance computing. Thirdly, SemiDynamics is addressed. This Barcelona-based company, also involved in European processor activities, came out of stealth mode during the RISC-V Global Forum..
