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...
For all the superior features that low-power computing systems exhibit compared to conventional high-end server designs, there is a common design axiom that both technological trends are based on: the main-board and its hardware components form the baseline, monolithic building block that the rest of the hw/sw stack design builds upon. This proportionality of...
Computer systems have faced significant power challenges over the past 20 years; these challenges have shifted from the devices and circuitslevel, to their current position as first-order constraints for system architects and software developers. TANGO s goal is to characterise factorswhich affect power consumption in software development and operation for heterogeneous...
The main target of the Mont-Blanc 3 project "European Scalable and power efficient HPC platform based on low-power embedded technology" is the creation of a new high-end HPC platform (SoC and node) that is able to deliver a new level of performance / energy ratio whilst executing real applications.
The technical objectives are:
Materials are crucial for scientific and technological advances, industrial competitiveness and for tackling key societal challenges - from energy and environment to health care, information and communications, manufacturing, safety and transportation. The current accuracy and predictive power of materials' simulations allows a paradigm shift for computational design and...
We are entering the Cyber-Physical age, in which both objects and people will become nodes of the same digital network for exchanging information. Therefore, in our imaginary, the general expectation is that things or systems will become somewhat smart as people, allowing rapid and close interactions not only system-system, but also human-system, system-human.
PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing, was established in May 2010 as a permanent pan-European High Performance Computing service providing world-class systems for world-class science. Six systems at the highest performance level (Tier-0) are deployed by Germany, France, Italy and Spain providing researchers with over 9 billion core hours of compute...
SAFURE targets the design of cyber-physical systems by implementing a methodology that ensures safety and security "by construction". This methodology is enabled by a framework developed to extend system capabilities so as to control the concurrent effects of security threats on the system behaviour. The current approach for security on safety-critical embedded systems is...
The consortium of this European Training Network (ETN) "BigStorage: Storage-based Convergence between HPC and Cloud to handle Big Data will train future data scientists in order to enable them and us to apply holistic and interdisciplinary approaches for taking advantage of a data overwhelmed world, which requires HPC and Cloud infrastructures with a redefinition of storage...
